Cleaning & Hygienein Baltimore, MD
At Hamilton Family Dentistry, our cleaning & hygiene services are the foundation of lifelong oral health. Through routine professional cleanings and comprehensive hygiene care, Dr. Erin Wolfson and Dr. Sydney Nolan focus on keeping your smile clean, healthy, and free from common issues like gum disease and cavities.
From removing stubborn plaque and tartar to overseeing personalized hygiene strategies, we aim to make every visit easy, effective, and comfortable. With the help of advanced diagnostic tools like Overjet AI and intraoral cameras, we show you exactly what’s happening with your teeth and gums: no guesswork, no surprises. Whether you’re due for your six-month visit or getting back on track, our judgment-free team is here to help you smile with confidence.
Why Are Cleanings & Hygiene Appointments Important?
Even with great brushing and flossing at home, professional cleaning reaches the areas your toothbrush simply can’t. Regular cleaning & hygiene appointments remove built-up plaque and tartar. Along with oral exams, these routine cleanings help detect early signs of gum disease, decay, or other issues before they become painful or more costly.
At Hamilton Family Dentistry, we take a gentle, personalized approach. We understand that every smile has its own story, which is why Dr. Wolfson and Dr. Nolan take time to answer your questions, ease dental anxiety, and recommend hygiene solutions tailored to your lifestyle. Cleanings are not just about appearance: they’re about preventing serious oral health problems while making sure you feel at ease during your visit.

The Benefits Of Cleaning & Hygiene
Prevent Tooth Decay & Gum Disease
Twice-yearly cleanings remove cavity-causing plaque and keep your gums healthy, reducing the risk of bigger issues down the line. Early detection during cleanings also allows us to treat problems before they worsen.
Support Whole-Body Health
Oral health is directly connected to overall well-being. Along with keeping your mouth healthy, regular teeth cleanings can lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes complications, and systemic infections.
Feel Fresh & Confident
There’s nothing like that just-cleaned feeling. A professional cleaning helps eliminate bad breath, brighten your smile, and gives you the confidence that comes from knowing you’re doing the best for your health.
Your Dream Smile is Our Priority
From single implants to full arch replacements and everything in between.
Single & Multi-Tooth Implants
Dental implants offer the most dependable, long-lasting way to restore missing teeth. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several in a row, options like single implants or implant-supported bridges can help you reclaim your smile with strength and stability.
Snap-In Implant Dentures
Snap-in dentures, also known as overdentures, are anchored by 4 to 6 implants per arch, creating a secure foundation for your new smile. These implant-retained dentures offer a major upgrade from traditional options, eliminating messy adhesives and improving day-to-day comfort.
All-On-4® Full Arch Implants
All-on-4 (often called “Teeth in a Day”) is a full-arch restoration that removes any remaining teeth, places implants, and secures a natural-looking, fixed smile, all in one appointment. It’s the most realistic, efficient way to replace a full set of failing or missing teeth.
Our Difference

The Teeth Cleaning & Hygiene Treatment Process

Comprehensive Dental Exam
Before anything else, Dr. Wolfson or Dr. Nolan will conduct a thorough oral health check. Using modern tools like digital X-rays and state-of-the-art AI diagnostics, we’ll look for signs of decay, gum inflammation, and more. This is also your chance to share any concerns or ask questions: we want you to feel informed and comfortable at every step.

Gentle Professional Cleaning
Our skilled hygienists focus on comfort and precision. They use special instruments to carefully remove plaque and tartar from your teeth and gumline. Our approach is always gentle, patient-centered, and tailored to your needs. Using intraoral cameras, we can even show you the progress as we go.

Personalized Hygiene Coaching
Once your teeth are sparkling clean, we help you maintain them. Dr. Wolfson and Dr. Nolan will recommend hygiene practices, products, and intervals that fit your routine and risk level, whether that’s advice on flossing techniques, fluoride recommendations, or addressing other conditions like dry mouth. Our goal is to partner with you for healthier habits between visits.
