Alright folks, buckle up because today we’re tackling the dental cleaning code like you’ve never seen before. You might think it’s just another boring CDT code (D1110, anyone?), but it’s actually a gold mine when paired with a membership plan like BoomCloud™.


Dental Cleaning Code Basics

The dental cleaning code D1110 is used for a routine prophylaxis — a standard adult cleaning that keeps mouths fresh, breath kissable, and perio disease at bay. ✨

BUT (and it’s a big but), using it wrong can cost you serious $$$.


Dental Cleaning Code vs. Deep Cleaning

Quick comparison:

  • D1110 = Normal cleaning (no bone loss)

  • D4341/D4342 = Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing, serious gum issues)

Mix them up and insurance companies will smack you down faster than a Karen at Starbucks.


The Danger of Misusing the Dental Cleaning Code

Coding errors are the silent killers of dental profits. Studies show over 60% of dental claim denials stem from improper code use.

Moral of the story? Use the right code. Every time.

The $10K Cleaning Mistake

One practice mis-coded 50 patients for D1110 when they needed SRP (deep cleaning). Insurance denied the claims. $10K lost overnight. Poof.


Lost Patients = Lost Revenue

Worse, those 50 patients were angry about unexpected bills. Guess how many stayed?

Zero.
Nada.
Zilch.


Memberships Make It Right

Now imagine if they had a membership program — patients wouldn’t have to fight insurance companies or face surprise bills.

BoomCloud™ to the rescue. ‍♀️
