Gentle Dental Cleaning in Midlothian

At Vacca Family Dentistry in Midlothian, our professional cleanings are gentle, thorough, and—believe it or not—very refreshing.  These visits do far more than just give your teeth a polished look. Your regular cleanings help prevent cavities, reduce the risk of gum disease, and give us a chance to spot any potential issues early—before they turn into something more serious or costly.

Dedicated to Happy, Healthy Smiles

A professional dental cleaning does more than just cleanse your teeth—it plays a key role in your overall oral health. During your visit, your dental hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach, especially along the gumline and between teeth.


We also polish your teeth to remove surface stains, leaving your smile feeling fresh and looking noticeably brighter. This thorough cleaning helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath—while giving you that smooth, just-cleaned feeling that’s hard to beat.


Keeping your routine appointments - every six months - is one of the simplest ways to maintain a healthy smile.

Tips for a Healthy Confident Smile

At Vacca Family Dentistry, we believe great oral health starts with genuine connection and clear communication. That’s why we take the time to learn about your at-home dental habits, listen to your concerns, and provide helpful suggestions tailored to your needs.


Whether it’s been six months or a few years since your last appointment, we’re here to support you with expertise, gentle care and zero judgment.
