Routine Cleanings: Your First Line of Defense
Routine dental cleanings are not just about a brighter smile. They are an investment in maintaining healthy teeth, healthy gums, and your overall health.
What a cleaning prevents
- Cavities, by removing the plaque that produces enamel-eroding acid.
- Gum disease, by clearing tartar buildup at and below the gumline.
- Bad breath, by removing the bacteria that cause it.
- Tooth loss, the long-term consequence of untreated gum disease.
- Costly emergency dental work, by catching small issues early.
What is included
Each routine visit includes a comprehensive oral exam, scaling, polishing, fluoride application, and personalized at-home care recommendations. We also screen for oral cancer at every visit.
Most insurance plans cover two cleanings per year at 100 percent. Do not skip them.
