The Importance of Regular Cleanings

Beyond just a bright smile, regular teeth cleanings are your first line of defense against serious health issues. Poor oral health is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory problems—connections many Delaware residents don’t realize until problems develop. Every cleaning at our office removes harmful bacteria that your toothbrush simply can’t reach, protecting not just your teeth but your overall well-being.

What sets Dr. Batterton’s approach apart is his comprehensive evaluation system. Unlike standard quick cleanings offered elsewhere in Delaware, Dr. Batterton personally examines each patient’s gum health, checks for early cavity formation, tooth decay, and periodontal disease, and performs oral cancer screenings as part of every routine visit. His gentle technique and attention to problem areas mean even patients with sensitive teeth leave feeling comfortable rather than pained. 

Most importantly, Dr. Batterton believes in education—you’ll understand exactly what’s happening in your mouth and receive personalized recommendations based on your specific needs, not generic advice.

A Simple, Thorough, and Gentle Teeth Cleaning Appointment

When you arrive for your cleaning, our friendly team welcomes you without the typical waiting room delay. Your appointment begins with a gentle examination where our Delaware, Ohio dentist checks for any concerns before our hygienist removes plaque and tartar using specialized tools that reach places your toothbrush misses. We then polish your teeth to remove surface stains and apply fluoride protection if needed.

Most cleaning appointments take just 45-60 minutes from start to finish. Before you leave, Dr. Batterton provides personalized home care instructions and schedules your next visit—typically in six months for most Delaware patients with good oral health. For those needing extra attention, we create custom care plans with more frequent check-ins.

Dr. Eric Batterton's Home Care Guide Between Visits

It’s important to maintain excellent dental hygiene between professional cleanings for both your oral health and overall well-being. Here are Dr. Batterton’s recommended practices for Delaware patients:

Brush thoroughly for two minutes, twice daily, with fluoride toothpaste.

Use dental floss daily to clean between teeth where brushing can't reach.

Rinse with alcohol-free mouthwash to reduce bacteria.

Limit sugary drinks and acidic foods that damage enamel.

Replace your toothbrush every 3-4 months or when bristles fray.

Stay hydrated with water to maintain healthy saliva production.
