Overview
Even if you and your children are brushing and flossing your teeth perfectly at home, it is still important to undergo professional dental cleanings at Dental Health at least twice a year. Using state-of-the-art tools, a biannual professional dental cleaning removes plaque and tartar that has built up while polishing the enamel for a brighter, healthier smile. During an adult or pediatric dental cleaning, you and your family members can receive tips on caring for your teeth at home and learn if there are any areas that need special attention. A professional dental cleaning will give our board-certified Dental Health team the opportunity to identify any problem areas in the mouth that might require treatment. Getting professional dental cleanings is an important part of maintaining your oral health so schedule an appointment for yourself and every member of your family at our Brattleboro, VT office!
Best Candidates
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that children and adults have professional dental cleanings at least twice a year. Babies should undergo their first dental exam before their first birthday, and after that, the Dental Health team will help you determine when your child is ready for their first dental cleaning appointment. A professional cleaning can help prevent cavities since plaque buildup, the biggest cause of tooth decay, is removed during these visits. A cleaning will also address tartar (hard plaque) and stains on the enamel. If you would like to brighten your smile, freshen your breath, boost your health, and save money in the long run, schedule a cleaning appointment at Dental Health for you and your family members.
What To Expect
A professional cleaning starts by addressing the plaque and tartar that have built up on the teeth, which can be difficult to remove on your own, no matter how often you brush and floss. Special instruments are used to scale these deposits without harming the teeth. First, an ultrasonic device addresses bigger chunks of tartar and plaque with high-speed vibrations and a lubricating mist. Then, handheld instruments, like a curette or scaler, will be used to remove smaller pieces. Each tooth needs to be individually scaled to thoroughly remove the tartar and plaque. Once the teeth have been cleaned, the enamel will be polished to minimize tooth stains. If needed or requested, a fluoride treatment can be performed after the cleaning to help strengthen the teeth and protect against cavities.

Had another great visit today.Its amazing years ago when I first came here I needed my jaws numbed just for a cleaning do to the pain. Today I don't need so much as topical to have a cleaning. High 5š¤ to Missy for her years of great work and to the great hospitality to all you guys give.Happy Valentines Day ladiesā¤
I love seeing Melissa for cleanings and Dr Lin has been working very hard to help me with a front tooth crown. Iām so thankful he is a perfectionist!
Let me start with letting you know this is only my 2nd review ever so you know I'm serious about what I am saying. This is less of a review and more of an open invitation to those like me who have gone too long without a cleaning and are too embarrassed to go now. Or those that are pretty sure they have a cavity but suffer from "a fear of the dentist" unnatural or based on a previous bad experience (I had both but since I'm a tough guy I never would admit it in public). To those suffering from bad breath and daily tooth pain in silence. Please go see the most amazing team of Dentistry Professionals on the planet. I suffered in silence for years. You don't need to! In a single and I emphasize PAINLESS! visit they were able to make my daily life better and permanently pain free. It is a life changing event. I can't thank them enough and literally for the first time in forever I look forward to my next dentist appointment. High Tech Painless Dentistry is real folks do yourself a favor and get some at Brattleboro Dental Health. Regards
Today's visit to Brattleboro Dental Health was the best ever ! Just a routine cleaning and evaluation. The doctor and dental hygienists made me their priority and treated me like royalty. Cleaned, evaluated, and then we discussed the findings. Excellent visit.
Dr Ellison's office is the happiest and friendlyest dental practice I've ever had in my 81 years. I've had all sorts of dental work done at her practice, implants, crowns, extractions and general exams and cleaning. The med techs that assist in all procedures are well educated and trained well. At 81, I wasn't sure about having another implant so I asked Dr Ellison and we had a 20 minute chat to help me with my decision. She went over X-rays and we discussed pros and cons and with her help decided to have an extraction instead of a transplant since it was a tooth in the background and would not be seen when smiling and would not interfere with chewing. At 81 I thought this was a smart choice. Dr Ellison is so pleasant, friendly and professional all at the same time. Same with her entire staff right up to the front desk who are also very helpful in answering questions. I can recommend this dental office wholeheartedly without hesitation.
