Preventative Care
Professional Dental Cleaning
Dental exams and professional cleanings are two of the most important services that we offer. Preventative care is essential care in keeping your smile happy and healthy. Our professional cleanings go beyond your daily brushing and flossing, our tools get into the smallest spaces that your brush bristles cannot reach. Getting your teeth cleaned professionally every six months ensures that any buildup of plaque and tartar is fully removed from your teeth.
When the plaque stays on your teeth and is not removed, the bacteria in both can cause disease and decay. The bacteria will move from your teeth to below your gum line and deteriorates the bonding that you have between the tooth and gum. While there is no cure for periodontal disease, it can be controlled with regular visits and proper hygiene.
When you schedule a dental checkup, you can expect a few things to happen:
A thorough oral examination to make sure there are no signs of any dental health concerns that need to be addressed
Professional cleaning of both your teeth and gums by removing plaque buildup to prevent decay and onset of periodontal disease
Take x-rays of your teeth if deemed necessary by your dentist
Shine and polish your teeth
Answer any questions you may have about your oral health
