Dental Cleanings

It is important to have regular dental cleanings to remove plaque and tartar that can lead to harmful bacteria. Neglecting these cleanings can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and other serious issues.

If you haven't had a professional cleaning in a while, you may experience some gum bleeding during the process. Our hygienists will be gentle and can adjust their pace to make sure you are comfortable. If you feel any soreness afterwards, you can use an over-the-counter pain reliever to help alleviate the discomfort.

At your dental cleaning appointment, our hygienist will assess your gums for recession or periodontal pocketing, remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth with an electric brush, floss between them, and conduct an oral cancer screening. If needed, we may recommend a prescription fluoride treatment or mouthwash for cavities or tooth sensitivity.

We are pleased to inform you that your dental insurance typically covers your biannual dental cleanings completely.
