Why Do Cleanings & Exams Matter?
Routine cleanings and exams are the foundation of a healthy smile and prevent a range of dental issues before they even begin. Here’s why scheduling these visits will benefit you and your family:
Remove Plaque & Tartar Buildup
Professional cleanings eliminate stubborn buildup that brushing and flossing can’t reach.
Prevent Cavities & Tooth Decay
Regular exams allow us to catch early signs of decay, saving you from future discomfort and treatments.
Catch Gum Disease Early
Exams monitor gum health to identify and treat gingivitis before it becomes more serious.
Prevent Problems Before They Start with Routine Exams
Gum Disease
Regular exams help identify and manage gingivitis and periodontal disease in their early stages.
Enamel Erosion
Exams can detect wear and recommend fluoride treatments or other strategies for protection.
Stains & Discoloration
Routine cleanings polish away surface stains, keeping your smile bright and healthy-looking.
Good oral health is connected to heart health, diabetes prevention, and more! This makes having a preventative routine an investment in you and your family’s well-being.
