Overview
Even if you are brushing and flossing your teeth perfectly at home, it is still important to schedule a dental cleaning at People's Dental twice a year. Using state-of-the-art tools, a bi-annual dental cleaning treats plaque and tartar while polishing your teeth for a brighter, healthier smile. During your treatment, you can get tips on ways to better clean your teeth at home and learn if there are any areas that need extra attention. A dental cleaning will give our dental team the opportunity to check for any areas of concern in the mouth that might require treatment. Getting a dental cleaning is a crucial part of maintaining your oral health, so schedule an appointment at our Springfield, MA office.
Best Candidates
The American Dental Association (ADA) advises people to schedule professional dental cleanings twice per year. Children should get their first dental exam before their first birthday and after that, our team will help you determine when your child is ready for their next appointment. A cleaning can prevent cavities since plaque buildup (the primary cause of cavities) is removed. A dental cleaning will also address tartar and stains on the enamel. If you want to brighten your smile, freshen your breath, improve your overall health, and save money in the long run, schedule a dental cleaning at People's Dental.
What To Expect
Your cleaning will begin by removing the plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, which can be challenging to treat on your own no matter how often you brush and floss. Professional equipment is used to scale without harming the tooth. To begin, an ultrasonic device breaks up bigger chunks of tartar and plaque with high-speed vibrations and a lubricating mist. Then, handheld tools like a curette or scaler will be used to remove any remaining buildup. Each tooth needs to be treated individually to get all the plaque and tartar. Once the teeth have been scaled, the enamel will be polished to remove stains. If needed or requested, a fluoride treatment will be completed after the cleaning.
Dental Cleaning Reviews
From the time I walked in both Maura & Bonnie were helpful in making my visit comfortable. From there I met with Odessa for my cleaning and X-Ray. I hadn't been in some time and she made me feel at ease in the chair and did a wonderful job. After X-Ray it was told to me by Dr. Soares that I had a cracked filling. She was great!!! They told me that I needed to reschedule for that to be addressed. I had asked if I could stay and get it done and after looking at the schedule told me they could take care of it that day!! I waited a very short period and they replaced the filling. No pain and what a great job she did with Yuliya assisting! The whole team from start to finish was great! I initially did NOT want to go to the dentist but It ended up to be the "Best experience" I have ever had at the Dentist.
I absolutely love this place, I was extremely satisfied with my cleaning and the dentist is extremely nice respectful and does a great job. Definitely switching my son to this location very happy to know they also take kids ❤️🙏🏽☺️
Absolutely LOVE People’s Dental. There is never a wait and if there is, it doesn’t exceed my appointment time. (I always get there early). Dr. S and the Hygienist, Odessa are always amazing and not to mention their amazing DA’s! (I forget her name but if you’re reading this, you know who you are!) Had my exam and cleaning done in the same appointment- like always, and they saw I needed a filling and got me in a few days later and worked with my schedule for work. Seriously the best. Also bonus points because they accept MassHealth! Wish I could leave a million stars. I will always recommend People’s Dental.

I went for my consultation on Tuesday the 16th. Upon entering the office, it is very clean and I was greeted with a "happy to have you here" by Julie at the front desk. They were knowledgeable and welcoming. Xrays are usually a challenge for me since my wisdom teeth are pretty far back. Nurse Dawn and Dr. Kelley had me out in about 20 minutes with a referral to a surgeon to get my wisdom teeth removed and schedule a cleaning before getting up. Highly recommend 😃
