Yes! No matter how thorough your oral hygiene routine is at home, bacteria can still build up in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. These bacteria eventually harden into a sticky substance called plaque that sticks to your teeth and often leads to oral infections. Not to mention, some serious dental issues like gum disease or oral cancer may go unnoticed without regular exams.
Using specialized dental tools, our hygienists will rid your teeth of harmful bacteria to preserve your health. In addition, Dr. Bassford will perform a thorough visual examination and look at x-rays if necessary to ensure your smile stays beautiful for many years to come.
