How often should I get a dental cleaning?

Most people benefit from dental cleanings in Rock Hill every 6 months as part of their regular dental exam visit. Some patients may need more frequent visits depending on their oral health. During your cleaning, our hygienist removes plaque and tartar, polishes your teeth, flosses, and may apply fluoride for added protection. Regular cleanings are one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect your oral health. At A Healthy Smile P.A., we make your visits comfortable, efficient, and personalized to support your long-term wellness.

Can kids get dental cleanings at A Healthy Smile?

Yes, absolutely! We recommend that children have their teeth professionally cleaned every 6 months, starting around their first birthday or when their first tooth comes in—whichever comes first. These early visits help keep tiny teeth healthy and allow us to monitor your child’s development. They’re also a great way to introduce kids to the dentist in a gentle, positive way, setting the foundation for a lifetime of good oral habits. Our pediatric dentistry team makes cleanings fun and relaxed for kids of all ages.

Will insurance cover my dental cleaning?

In most cases, yes—dental insurance typically covers 2 preventive cleanings per year. Our team is happy to help you navigate your benefits and will verify your coverage before your appointment to avoid surprises. If you don’t have insurance, we offer flexible payment options and can discuss affordable ways to maintain your oral health. Your smile is important to us. That’s why we work with you to make care accessible.

What should I do between cleanings?

To keep your smile healthy between visits, be sure to brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and limit sugary snacks and drinks. Drinking plenty of water and eating a balanced diet also supports good oral health. Consistent home care helps prevent plaque buildup, protects your gums, and maintains the benefits of your professional dental cleanings in Rock Hill. If you ever have questions about your routine, we’re just a phone call away!

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Dr. Harvey’s dental practice, and I can't speak highly enough about my sons experience. Dr. Harvey is by far the most patient and caring pediatric dentist I’ve ever encountered. His gentle approach, combined with his expert knowledge, put my child completely at ease, making a typically stressful visit feel so smooth. He takes the time to explain everything thoroughly, making sure both parents and kids are comfortable throughout the entire process. Maryland, his dental assistant, was equally amazing. She was kind, efficient, and truly made my child feel safe and supported. Together, they form an incredible team, and I left the office feeling confident that my child's dental health is in the best hands. I would recommend Dr. Harvey and Maryland 1000 times over! They are a perfect combination of skill, compassion, and professionalism, and I’m beyond grateful for the care we received.

After being told by my child’s previous dentist that she would have to have general sedation to undergo cavity fillings - my husband and I felt that we should have a second opinion before subjecting her (age 5) to anesthesia if not absolutely necessary. After asking for recommendations a friend suggested Dr. Harvey. I cannot begin to say enough great things about him and the practice. The staff were all very friendly and accommodating. My daughter was able to get a crown and a filling without sedation. Dr. Harvey was very patient and worked with her sensitive gag reflex and talked her through the whole process (she didn’t even end up needing laughing gas!) and since then we have changed our care over to him. If it tells you anything we drive over an hour to come see him! 10/10 recommend.

Welcoming and friendly staff and environment! My children (3 and 8) had an amazing experience. We also didn’t have to wait long, once I finished paperwork my kids and I were brought straight back and they worked on both children at the same time. We’re very happy to have found a great new dentist for our kids!
