Dental cleanings use professional-grade equipment to not only clean the surface of the teeth but also to go where normal toothbrushes can’t – below the gum line. It is below the gum line where infections can develop, which can lead to a whole host of issues and conditions. When the highly acclaimed dentists at Washington Center for Dentistry perform dental cleanings, they aren’t just doing it to leave patients with whiter, better-looking teeth. Even though a more dazzling smile is obviously a result, dental cleanings help keep a patient’s mouth and entire body healthier in the long-run.
Benefits of Dental Cleaning
Of course, our patients want the whitest, brightest, most dazzling smiles possible, but our dental cleanings go beyond that. In fact, they go beneath that—beneath the gum line to where at-home toothbrushes just can’t reach. Our dental cleanings:
- Clean below the gum line where our toothbrush can’t reach to get the bacteria that can turn into problem-causing infections.
- Preserve and keep teeth longer by preventing tooth decay and cavities.
- Prevent mouth plaque from migrating throughout the vascular system.
- Prevent stains from building up on the enamel.
- Maintain lighter, whiter, younger-looking teeth.
Washington Center for Dentistry Reviews
I have had repairs and cleanings at Washington Center for Dentistry, and every time the work has been superb, the experience flawless, and smoothly run, with an amazing finished product! Thank you, Dr Shlansky!
I’ve been a patient at WCFD for years and am so spoiled here that I can’t go anywhere else! The treatment and care is superb with the most amazing customer service you could ask for. I had a cleaning with Annie today and it was a delight. The front desk folks are true professionals and are top notch as well. This place is the best.
I am amazed with this dental office. My recent dental procedure was the easiest I’ve ever experienced. Dr. Fordjour and Teresa explained the procedure to me so that there were no surprises, and both had a wonderful bedside manner that put me at ease. I have been continually impressed by the people here and the expanding technology they use. During my first visit, it felt like being in the future in contrast to the previous dental office I’ve gone to. Routine cleanings are much more comfortable here as well. They have eliminated my anxiety towards dentists.
I followed Dr. Taneja here from another practice because he has always provided great care, and I am so happy with the experience at Washington Center for Dentistry. Dr. Taneja is incredibly friendly, professional, and great at diagnosing and treating issues with my teeth (I unfortunately grind them which has resulted in painful cracks and other issues more than once). I also have loved every dental assistant with whom I have interacted. All of my cleanings and procedures have been done quickly, gently, and efficiently. I've never had to wait past my appointment time and am always taken back right away. The administrative staff is also great -- super friendly on the phone and I am always able to get an appointment quickly when I have a problem.
I went in for a cleaning yesterday. Briona gave me a warm welcoming and a seamless check out. Soosan, my hygienist, was so nice and I was well informed of what was going to happen and how to improve my overall health. She won me over and will make this spot the only place I go. I’m so happy that Dr. Fordjour is still here. He came in to double check and make sure I was comfortable with our plan.

After Dental Cleaning
After a thorough and refreshing dental cleaning, it’s important to protect the teeth to prolong that wonderful look and feeling. A patient should follow good oral care and hygiene, which includes:
- Brushing and flossing after every meal or snack, or at least two times per day.
- Eating a healthy diet, rich in vegetables and avoiding excessive sugar.
- Making an appointment with us every 6 months or as recommended by the dentist depending on the condition of the mouth.

About UsDental Cleanings FAQs
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
Before your teeth cleaning, our dental team will evaluate your teeth to assess their sensitivity and the level of plaque buildup. While a dental cleaning is generally not painful, you may experience some sensitivity if you have advanced buildup or tender gums. If you have concerns about the health of your teeth or gums, we encourage you to contact our Washington, D.C. office to schedule an appointment.
What foods should I avoid after a teeth cleaning?
We recommend avoiding acidic, spicy, or heavily seasoned foods on the day of your cleaning, as they may cause mild sensitivity or irritation. Our dentists will provide detailed guidance on why these foods should be avoided and suggest options you can enjoy comfortably.
How will I effectively keep my teeth clean after my appointment?
It is important to have a daily dental cleaning routine at home in addition to your annual teeth cleanings. This includes brushing and flossing your teeth twice daily. Ask our dentists at your next appointment for detailed instructions on how to brush and floss your teeth properly.
