Dental Cleaning & Exams

It’s not always possible to brush your teeth after every meal. But, even meticulous brushing can’t remove every bit of sticky plaque. Eventually, plaque missed by your toothbrush and floss will harden into tartar, which is, perhaps, the most important reason to schedule a regular professional cleaning with our hygienist. Tartar deposits not only form on the surface of teeth, they also accumulate below the gum line. If not removed, tartar buildup can lead to gum disease, which in turn can contribute to serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Having an extra set of eyes and hands inspecting and cleaning your mouth is one of the best things you can do for your overall health.
