Cleanings

The accumulation of plaque and calculus around the teeth and under the gums can cause a multitude of dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, bone loss, and eventually tooth loss. That’s why we recommend that our patients make a cleaning appointment every 6 months in order to maintain good oral health.

What to expect during a cleaning

• Periodic x-rays
• Oral health assessment
• Polish and floss teeth
• Oral cancer screening
• Oral hygiene education
• Exam by dentist
• Fluoride treatments and sealants may be recommended
