Preventive Cleanings

Why should I get a dental cleaning?

Most commonly known as a ‘cleaning,’ dental prophylaxis is a preventive procedure performed on people with good periodontal health to remove dental plaque, calculus, and stains at and above the gum line. This procedure is designed to help people maintain good health and reduce their risk of developing periodontal disease.

This appointment is performed by our gentle dental hygienists and includes a complete periodontal (gum) assessment and information on keeping your health in excellent condition. We’ll answer your questions and recommend any products or techniques that would be helpful for your unique needs.
