Dental cleanings are key to keeping your mouth and smile healthy and are among the most important preventive treatments our dentists and team provide. We recommend that you visit our office every six months for a dental cleaning. A dental exam is also typically provided during these routine visits. These regular checkups allow us to monitor your oral health and provide prompt treatment for any problems that may develop, and our dentists may recommend that you visit more frequently depending on your individual needs.

When you receive a dental cleaning, we will:

• Thoroughly clean your teeth to remove any plaque and tartar (calculus) from your tooth surfaces
• Floss your teeth to remove plaque from between your teeth
• Polish your teeth
• Examine your teeth and mouth for signs of decay, gum disease or other dental conditions

Our team may also take dental X-rays to check for cavities and other problems that are developing or are in areas where we cannot easily see them.

In addition to visiting our practice regularly for preventive care, we welcome you to contact us if you are experiencing pain or have a dental emergency. Our dentists and team will be happy to help you.
