Professional Dental Cleaning & Exam

A professional dental cleaning is a preventive procedure performed by our licensed dental hygienists. It involves removing plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be eliminated by regular brushing and flossing. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on teeth, and if left untreated, it hardens into tartar, which can cause gum inflammation and tooth decay.
During a dental exam, our dentists thoroughly assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health. This allows for early detection of cavities, gum disease, oral infections, and even signs of oral cancer. Detecting issues early ensures that treatments are more effective, less invasive, and more affordable.
