Benefits of Dental Cleanings
During your professional teeth cleaning, we’ll be able to remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth. While brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once daily are important for oral health, they’re not enough to remove tartar. Only a dental professional will be able to remove tartar so you can better protect your oral health.
During your teeth cleaning appointment, we’ll also:
- Evaluate your overall oral health.
- Discuss oral hygiene practices and habits.
- Check your bite and jaw for any issues.
- Evaluate your risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer.
- Evaluate existing tooth restorations.
- Take dental X-rays if necessary.
