Regular dental cleanings and checkups are essential to maintaining a healthy smile. During a cleaning, your hygienist will remove the plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, polish your teeth to remove residual tartar and provide a fluoride treatment to protect your teeth against cavities.
Once the cleaning has been complete, our dentist near you will examine your mouth for cavities, gum disease, and other abnormalities. An oral cancer screening is also typically included in an oral exam.
