Gold Dental provides professional teeth cleanings and comprehensive dental exams for patients in Petersburg, VA and surrounding communities. Regular cleanings are one of the most important things you can do for your long-term oral and overall health. Gum disease — which develops from plaque and tartar buildup — has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, stroke, and other systemic conditions. A professional cleaning every six months removes the buildup that regular brushing and flossing cannot.
During a professional cleaning at Gold Dental, our dental hygienist removes plaque and hardened tartar (calculus) from all tooth surfaces using specialized instruments. We pay particular attention to the gumline and between teeth where buildup is most harmful. Your teeth are then polished to remove surface stains and leave a smooth, clean feeling. We also review your home care routine and provide personalized tips for brushing and flossing effectively.
Your comprehensive exam includes a full evaluation of every tooth for decay, gum tissue assessment, a check of your bite and jaw function, oral cancer screening, and a review of any X-rays taken. Our dentist will discuss all findings with you and present a clear treatment plan if anything needs attention. We believe in informed patients — we explain everything we find in plain language, not dental jargon.
Virginia Medicaid covers twice-yearly cleanings and exams for children and once-yearly for adults. Medicare Advantage plans vary — many include cleanings and exams at no additional cost.
