Regular brushing and flossing gets rid of plaque and protects your teeth from decay. But long-term, your home hygiene isn’t enough. At a cleaning, your hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth, helping prevent more complicated and costly treatments down the line.
Your cleaning will include removing plaque and tartar, and may also include applying fluoride. Our hygienists will provide guidance on the latest flossing, brushing and whitening methods, and our dentists will complete a comprehensive exam. They’ll evaluate your oral health and determine your risk levels for decay, gum disease and oral cancer. Then, they’ll work with you to create a dental care plan that fits your needs.
