When Do You Need a Cleaning?
People with average oral hygiene and health need a cleaning and exam every six months, but you should follow your dentist’s suggestions.
Children should have their first dental cleaning by age one.
People who smoke should have more frequent dental cleanings.
People with chronic health problems like diabetes should have cleanings more than once a year.
What Do Cleanings Include?
Deep Cleaning: we use a scaler to target plaque, a polisher to gently remove surface contaminants, and fluoride treatments to protect your teeth.
Oral Hygiene: we provide each patient with the information and tools needed to maintain optimal oral health.
Periodontal Treatment: we complete thorough periodontal exams and offer Perio Protect treatments.
Sealants: a thin barrier on the surface of at-risk teeth may help prevent future decay.
