What Are Dental Cleanings and Exams?
Dental cleanings and exams are essential preventive care services that help maintain your oral health and prevent dental issues such as cavities, gum disease and tooth decay. A professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing cannot eliminate. During an exam, our dentists will assess the overall health of your teeth and gums, checking for any potential problems.
