Dental & Teeth Cleaning Manhattan, NYC in Financial District

Attending routine dental cleanings at PDA Dental is an excellent way to achieve a healthy, vibrant smile. Dental cleanings from our experienced and caring team gently remove plaque, tartar, and stain accumulation from tooth surfaces to enhance your oral health and minimize your risk of cavities and gum disease. Throughout your cleaning appointment, our talented dentists and hygienists will also provide helpful tips on how to best maintain a healthy smile between visits. We recommend that all patients receive dental cleanings at least twice each year and often pair these visits with diagnostic x-rays and thorough dental exams. PDA Dental is proud to serve the Financial District of Lower Manhattan, NY and surrounding communities with the finest in family and comprehensive dental care.

Our dentists and hygienists adhere to the recommendation by the American Dental Association (ADA) that patients have their teeth professionally cleaned every six months. More frequent dental cleaning visits may be recommended by our experienced team to best serve individual oral health and treatment needs. Young children also benefit from routine preventive care and should visit the dentist for the first time around the ages of 2 – 3. Following their initial visit, our dentists will help parents decide when to schedule their child's next visit.

All individuals should have their teeth cleaned on a regular basis to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth. These deposits harbor harmful oral bacteria, which can lead to the development of tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease. Dental cleanings also minimize surface stain from tea, coffee, and other products and can help to freshen the breath while brightening the smile. Maintaining a routine dental cleaning schedule with our leading team at PDA Dental can also serve to reduce treatment needs down the road while saving patients from future expenses and time spent in the dental office.

Dental cleanings at PDA Dental are tailored to meet the needs of each individual patient and may include dental exams and x-rays as recommended by our dentists. We will also keep a close watch on your gums, screening for periodontal disease at regular intervals. Even when you practice excellent oral hygiene habits at home, plaque is continually forming and often calcifies into a harder substance known as tartar. Our dental hygienists will utilize ultrasonic and hand scaling instruments to gently yet thoroughly eliminate these substances from your teeth without compromising tooth structure. Once each tooth has been individually scaled, we will use a special polishing agent to help remove surface stains and create a smoother enamel feel. A fluoride treatment may be applied at the end of the visit to help strengthen teeth and protect against cavity formation.

Dental cleanings are performed biannually for many New York City, NY patients. However, our PDA Dental team may recommend more frequent cleaning visits if you or your family have gum disease, are currently wearing braces, or other oral concerns. During your cleaning appointments, we will point out any areas that need more attention at home and show you personalized tips on how to best brush and floss to reduce the risk of cavities and gum disease. Additional tools or oral products may also be suggested to help you best care for your smile between dental visits.

Dental cleanings are preventive prophylaxis services that are commonly covered by most dental insurances at least twice per year. Our trained billing team will review your plan and let you know of any potential out-of-pocket expenses, such as for additional cleanings that may be beneficial for your oral health. As a leading practice, PDA Dental accepts PPO insurance plans and will file your claim as a courtesy to you. If you incur personal costs for your care, please talk to our friendly team about your payment choices, including flexible financing through CareCredit®.
