Teeth Cleaning
We Offer Dental Cleanings For the Whole Family
Instead of finding two separate dental practices for the children and adults in your family, you can take everyone to the same trusted team. Children as young as a year old can benefit from visits twice a year.
Our compassionate team will make sure that they're at ease, like Dr. Ashley Starr, who has experience in a pediatric office. And, because we know that dental anxiety has no age limit, we practice the same level of kindness and care with all our patients. Visit our welcoming office to see why Belmont and Charlotte patients happily trust us to care for their loved ones.
We Accommodate Busy Schedules
/
With everything on your plate, it can be hard to find time to visit the dentist. We make it easier to fit us into your busy schedule with Saturday hours from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. We also offer late hours from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. Contact us to find a time that works best for you.

I Brush and Floss Every Day. Do I Really Need to See the Dentist?
If you practice good daily dental care, you're creating a commendable foundation for your oral health. But only dentists can clean away the stubborn plaque and tartar that deposits on our teeth and along our gumlines. An experienced dentist, like those on our team, will use specialized tools to completely clean each tooth.
It takes an hour of your time or less to prevent dental problems — so visit us for your next appointment.
Regular Dental Cleanings Protect
Even with excellent brushing and flossing habits, patients still need to visit a dentist to remove plaque and tartar from their teeth. Seeing our team twice a year allows us to catch things like cavities early — or even prevent them entirely. We offer dental care like fillings and crowns, so if we notice anything during your teeth cleaning, you've got a team that can help.
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, is a common condition resulting from bacteria, plaque, and tartar. It begins as a milder form known as gingivitis, advancing to gum disease over time. Symptoms include puffy gums, gum pockets, and gum recession. Luckily, our dentists offer gum disease treatment, so we can better treat you if we notice the signs.
After tooth loss, our jawbones and sinus bones can deteriorate, creating visible sinking in your facial structure. That's because they need to be stimulated by the roots of your teeth. This problem is preventable with good oral hygiene and routine teeth cleanings from our team. Not to mention, regular care can save you from expensive treatments like crowns, implants, and dentures.
What Does a Dental Cleaning Include? See for Yourself at Our Charleston-Area Office
When you visit our Belmont dentists for a routine appointment, you'll get more than just a cleaning. In every routine visit, we include:
Dental Exams
We take your health seriously. Each cleaning comes with an exam, which allows us to check for cavities, gum disease, and tooth trauma. If we notice any concerns, we can go over them with you and plan the right course of treatment.
Teeth Cleaning
The typical dental cleaning allows us to remove plaque and tartar along your teeth and gums. Your dentist will check to make sure your teeth look excellent before you leave, even doing some polishing for a finishing touch.
Teeth Polishing
Your dentist may also include teeth polishing in your treatment. Polishing is best for preventing staining from buildup on your teeth, so that your smile is both beautiful and healthy when you leave our office.
Home Care Tips
Having trouble flossing around a certain tooth? Need help with a stubborn child's brushing habits? Our dentists are happy to give you at-home dental care tips, like brushing techniques, so that you can best protect your teeth.
For the healthiest smile, patients should combine in-office teeth cleaning with at-home care. You and your family can trust our dentists to protect your oral health — so get started by contacting our Belmont, NC, dental office or by calling
(704) 825-5111

I was seen today as a new patient with Sarah and Dr. Kumar and omg they were so amazing! Sarah is one of the best, if not the best hygienists I've ever had!!! My teeth have never felt cleaner and she was so gentle and thorough! Dr. Kumar came and did an exam and seemed very sweet! I had a great experience and when you come, make sure you ask for Sarah! You won't regret it
View on GoogleDoes Insurance Cover Cleaning?
Yes, dental insurance typically covers the full cost of a regular cleaning and exam twice a year for children and adults. South Point Family Dentistry accepts a variety of dental insurance, and you're welcome to ask if we take yours before visiting.
Take advantage of your policy and visit our Belmont team for your next dental cleaning. Even if you don't have insurance, regular teeth cleaning is cheaper than advanced treatment later down the line. Plus, we accept CareCredit® and Sunbit financing, so that your family never has to sacrifice having healthy teeth and gums.
