Dental Cleanings

Regular dental cleanings are essential for removing plaque and tartar buildup that can trap harmful bacteria. If left untreated, this buildup can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and other serious oral health issues. Keeping up with cleanings helps maintain a healthy smile and prevents complications down the line.

If it's been some time since your last professional cleaning, you might experience mild gum bleeding during the procedure. Our hygienists are gentle and can adjust their technique to ensure you're comfortable throughout the process. Any soreness afterward is typically temporary and can be managed with an over-the-counter pain reliever for relief.

At your dental cleaning appointment, our hygienist will first evaluate your gums for signs of recession or periodontal pocketing. They will then carefully remove plaque and tartar from your gum line and between your teeth. Next, your teeth will be polished using an advanced electric brush and flossed for a thorough clean. We also perform an oral cancer screening as part of your visit. If you're prone to cavities or experience chronic tooth sensitivity, we may recommend a prescription fluoride treatment or mouthwash for added protection.

Good news! Most dental insurance plans typically cover the cost of your biannual dental cleanings in full.
