The Importance of Professional Dental Cleanings
Dental professionals and the ADA agree that everyone should brush their teeth at a minimum twice a day for two minutes and clean in between teeth with floss or another method at least once daily. Even with those measures, a routine cleaning at our dental practice twice a year will address important things these home steps don’t.
The Benefits of Professional Dental Cleanings
Tartar Removal
Calcified plaque is a natural occurrence on teeth that can lead to cavities and decay. Our professional instruments will remove plaque to protect teeth.
X-Rays
Routine cleanings are the ideal time to take dental X-rays as needed to look for potential issues not visible on the surface.
Early Intervention
Our professionally trained and educated staff can spot early signs of tooth problems and intervene before they become serious.
Thorough Examinations for Oral Cancer
We inspect for tissue abnormalities, such as lesions, ulcers, rough spots, discolored patches, and other signs of oral cancer. Are you at high risk of developing oral cancer? Learn more below.
