Teeth Cleanings
The widely accepted schedule for teeth cleanings is once every 6 months, or twice a year. Sure, oral hygiene can be practiced at home with brushing and flossing but these actions can only remove so much. You need professional dental tools to properly remove tartar (hardened plaque) that’s been left behind. Cleanings are also a great time for our dentists to examine any arising issues.

While you can peer into your mouth at home during your daily hygiene routine, our dentists take it a step further with dedicated oral exams. We’ll use a few chosen tools to assess how your teeth, jaw, and soft tissues are doing. We may even implement digital X-rays to go beyond what the naked eye can see.
