It is recommended that you come in for a dental cleaning every six months. During these visits, we perform a cleaning of your teeth and gums and complete a thorough exam of your mouth. Dental cleanings can help us find cavities early, preserve your teeth, and keep up your overall health. During a dental cleaning, we will get rid of plaque that naturally builds up on your teeth. We will also floss between each of your teeth, and check your gums for early-stage gum disease.
