Why Cleanings and Exams are Important
Dental cleanings and exams play a vital role in preventing common dental issues like cavities, gum disease and tooth decay. During a cleaning, our team removes plaque and tartar that build up over time, even with good brushing and flossing habits. Exams allow our dentists and team to carefully assess your teeth, gums and overall oral health, identifying potential issues before they become more serious or costly to treat.
