Dental Cleanings

What Is A Dental Cleaning?

A dental cleaning, also known as a prophylaxis, is a routine procedure performed by your dentist to remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. This process includes the removal of old sealants, check for cavities or cracks in the tooth enamel, and polishing your teeth in order to prevent future problems.

Why Is It Important To Have Routine Teeth Cleanings?

Regular dental cleanings will help your dentist detect any signs of periodontal disease, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. They can also help prevent gum disease and other oral health issues.

How Often Should You Have Routine Teeth Cleanings?

The American Dental Association recommends that you have at least one dental cleaning every six months. It’s important that you go in for regular checkups so that your dentist can monitor any changes in your oral health.

How do we get started?

We get started when you contact us! We will get you in for a comprehensive dental consultation, which is a very thorough assessment, so we get to know you and get to know your dental situation.

We use the data we collect to figure out what risks your teeth face over time and how best to tailor our recommendations to your particular dental situation. From that, we can formulate options for any care that is needed and have a solid basis to predict your future needs.
