Why Should I Get Teeth Cleaning?

Regular teeth cleaning is an essential part of your oral hygiene routine. It's not just about having a sparkling smile, but it's also about maintaining your overall health. Poor oral hygiene can lead to a range of health issues beyond your mouth, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Regular teeth cleaning sessions with Dr. Devin McClintock can help detect early signs of these conditions. Additionally, professional teeth cleaning can reach areas that are hard to clean with routine brushing and flossing, ensuring a thorough clean that leaves your mouth feeling fresh and healthy.

What is Guided Biofilm Therapy?

At Precision Dentistry of Williamsburg, we’re proud to be the only dental practice on the Peninsula offering Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) with EMS Airflow® technology.

Guided Biofilm Therapy is a modern, evidence-based approach to teeth cleaning that removes biofilm (harmful bacteria), plaque, and stains using a minimally invasive process that’s more comfortable, more precise, and more effective than traditional cleanings. Instead of scraping with metal tools, we use EMS Airflow®, which combines air, warm water, and a gentle powder to thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, even below the gumline.

If you’re looking for the latest in preventive dental care and a noticeably more comfortable experience, GBT in Williamsburg is the gold standard — and we’re the only office that provides it.

What are the benefits of GBT over traditional dental cleanings?

GBT is the future of preventive dentistry and now it’s available exclusively at our office. Here’s why patients love it:

  • No More Scraping: EMS Airflow® technology uses a gentle spray to remove biofilm and stains, making the experience more comfortable and anxiety-free.
  • Highly Precise: A special disclosing agent shows exactly where biofilm is hiding, so nothing gets missed — even in hard-to-reach spots or around braces and implants.
  • Safe for Everyone: GBT is safe and effective for kids, adults, patients with gum disease, and those with restorations like crowns, veneers, or dental implants.
  • Better Oral and Overall Health: Thorough biofilm removal reduces inflammation and supports long-term health, lowering the risk of issues like gum disease, decay, and even systemic conditions like heart disease.
  • Exclusive to Our Office: We are the only practice on the Peninsula offering EMS Airflow® bringing you the most advanced cleaning technology available.

How does GBT work?

Here’s what to expect when you experience Guided Biofilm Therapy in Williamsburg:

  1. Biofilm Detection – A harmless dye reveals exactly where plaque and bacteria are hiding on your teeth and under the gums.
  2. Gentle Cleaning – EMS Airflow® delivers a soft stream of air, water, and erythritol powder to remove biofilm and stains without touching your teeth with metal instruments.
  3. Deep Cleaning Where Needed – If there’s tartar buildup or deeper pockets, we follow up with precise ultrasonic scaling (Piezon®) — still more comfortable than traditional methods.
  4. Protective Finish – We complete the visit with customized treatment options and product recommendations, depending on your needs, to keep your smile healthy and strong.

The Benefits Of Teeth Cleaning

Prevents Gum Disease

Teeth cleaning helps to prevent gum disease, an infection of the tissues that surround and support your teeth. Gum disease is a major cause of tooth loss in adults. By removing plaque and tartar, teeth cleaning prevents the growth of harmful bacteria that cause gum disease and inflammation.

Brightens Your Smile

Over time, our teeth can become stained from food, drinks, and certain medications. Teeth cleaning can help to remove these stains, leaving you with a brighter, whiter smile. It's an easy and effective way to boost your confidence and improve your appearance.

Improves Overall Health

Research has shown a link between oral and overall health. Regular teeth cleaning may help to lower your risk for some diseases, like heart disease and stroke. Many medical conditions, some of them life-threatening, can be detected in their early stages through regular oral exams.

The Teeth Cleaning Treatment Process

Oral Examination

The first step in the teeth cleaning process is a thorough oral examination. This includes a visual examination of your teeth and gums, as well as an oral cancer screening. This step allows Dr. McClintock to assess your oral health and identify any potential issues.

Plaque and Tartar Removal

The next step involves the removal of plaque and tartar that have built up on your teeth. Using specialized dental tools, Dr. McClintock will gently scrape away these deposits, particularly focusing on areas that are hard to reach with regular brushing and flossing.

Teeth Polishing

The final step in the teeth cleaning process is polishing. This involves using a high-powered brush and a special toothpaste to give your teeth a thorough clean and polish. This step helps to get rid of any leftover plaque or tartar and leaves your teeth feeling smooth and shiny.
