Cleanings & Routine Checkups

At our office, we believe in routine dental cleanings at least 2 times a year to remove plaque, tartar and stain from your teeth. In some scenarios, if tartar builds up at a more than average rate, or if you have had a past history of periodontal disease, 3-4 cleanings a year may be needed to keep you healthy. Each year, we also perform a routine dental check up at one of those cleanings to analyze your teeth, tissue and perform an oral cancer screening to ensure you are healthy and functional for the year. Depending on your risk assessment, we may recommend an anticavity carifree rinse, fluoride treatments or fluoridated toothpaste.
