Essential for a Healthy Smile
We believe that routine cleanings are the cornerstone of a healthy smile and overall dental hygiene. Regular dental cleanings help maintain the health of your teeth and gums by removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria that brushing alone can’t eliminate.
What Is a Routine Cleaning?
A routine cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a professional dental cleaning performed by a hygienist or dentist. During the procedure, we use specialized tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, clean the gum line, and polish your teeth for a smooth finish. Routine cleanings are an essential part of preventive dental care, helping to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.
Caring for Your Teeth Between Cleanings
- Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss daily to remove plaque between your teeth.
- Avoid sugary snacks and drinks that can contribute to plaque buildup.
- Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.
