Preventative Dentistry begins with professional dental cleanings. Our dental hygienists are expertly trained and have the highest qualifications when it comes to cleaning your teeth. At the beginning of your visit, an oral exam will be taken to check for any signs of cavities or decay. X-rays are usually taken once a year.

Cleanings

To begin the cleaning, the hygienist will use a metal tool called a scaler to scrape off any plaque found on your teeth. Plaque can sometimes be hard to see and it can be even harder to remove effectively. Plaque buildup can lead to cavities and tooth decay, so it is extremely important to remove it all and keep up good oral hygiene. Our hygienists are experienced and trained to help you have a clean and healthy smile. 

Following the removal of plaque, polishing with a high-powered brush will deep clean the surface of your teeth. This should not cause any pain, but rather just feel like someone else is brushing your teeth. Following the polishing, professional flossing will be given. Flossing can be difficult at home, especially when it comes to reaching those back molars. Your hygienist will ensure you are getting deep flossing that will leave you with a fresh, clean smile!
