Has it been a while since you’ve seen the dentist? If so, you’re not alone, and you’re definitely not “behind.” A free dental cleaning in Marysville at the Hope Center is a fresh start for you and your smile. Dr. Michael Halasa and the team at Marysville Family Dentistry are partnering with Hope Center this May 2026 to make dental care easier, calmer, and more accessible for everyone.
Preparing for Your Visit: What to Bring
To prepare for your dental checkup and cleaning, we ask that you please bring:
- A photo ID (if you have one)
- Any dental insurance info (if applicable, though not required for the free dental clinic)
- A list of medications (or a photo of the bottles)
- Your questions
Pro tip: Brush your teeth beforehand if you can, but don’t stress if you can’t!
Step-by-Step: The Professional Cleaning Process
Our goal is to show people that dental care doesn't have to be stressful or scary. We're here to help you enjoy (or at least not dread) dental appointments so you can have a long-lasting, healthy smile.
The Initial Oral Examination
Before anything else, the dental team will take a careful look at your mouth, teeth, and gums. This is quick, gentle, and meant to catch any issues early, not to lecture you.
Scaling: Removing Plaque and Tartar
This is the part where the hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup. You may hear scraping sounds, but it shouldn’t hurt. If your gums are sensitive, please let the hygienist know. We encourage you to speak up so we can better tailor the treatment to your unique comfort levels and needs.
The “Gritty” Polish and Professional Flossing
Next comes the toothbrush-on-steroids moment: a polishing tool with a mildly gritty paste. It feels a little like your teeth are getting a spa scrub. Then we floss your teeth to remove any leftover debris and plaque.
Personalized Consultation and Next Steps
At the end of your visit, you’ll have a simple, judgment-free overview of what we noticed. We’ll also offer recommendations if you need more care. Ultimately, you’ll leave with cleaner teeth, fresher breath, and a clearer idea of what’s next!
