What Is A Dental Cleaning?

A dental cleaning includes an evaluation of your entire mouth including your teeth, gums and tongue. A professional cleaning thoroughly cleans your entire mouth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. Additional treatments such as a fluoride rinse may also be given. After examining your entire mouth, your dentist will inform you of any dental concerns and recommend treatment if needed. Up-to-date technology like our VELscope® intraoral screening tool helps give you a great dental experience and exceptional dental care. This special tool is used to detect oral cancer and oral health issues that can be invisible to the naked eye.

Regular Appointments Can Identify Gum Disease

Gum disease affects many Americans, and many don’t recognize the early symptoms. For this reason, it’s important to consistently visit your dentist so gum disease can be caught and treated early. The beginning stage of gum disease is called gingivitis and begins when plaque and tartar builds up above and below the gumline. When left untreated, gum disease can worsen and lead to periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss. Regular dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent or treat symptoms of gum disease. Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, receding gum lines and other oral or systemic health risks.

How Often Should I Schedule Regular Dental Cleanings?

Typically, cleanings are recommended every six months. Your dentist may recommend more cleanings throughout the year depending on the health of your smile. Regular cleanings are important at every stage of life, from young to old. At-home oral care including brushing twice a day and flossing regularly is recommended for healthy teeth and gums. Regular professional cleanings combined with at-home care will help you maintain a healthy smile!

This is a wonderful place with wonderful prices. I was in need of a dentist very desperately. They were able to get me in and cleaned in a timely manner so that I could get my retainers put on at my orthodontist. The Dr is great, and the dental hygienist was amazing!

Minha experiência até agora está sendo incrível. O Diego é muito atencioso e a Dra que me atendeu também.

I went there on the same day I broke my tooth and they repaired it so I didn't have to go into work with the broken tooth. The dentist is extremely nice and helpful. I'm actually switching dentists to them because it was so easy.
