Regular checkups are an important part of maintaining your bright smile!
No matter what your age, visiting the dentist on a regular basis will help keep your teeth and gums healthy and your smile bright!
The American Dental Association and the American Academy for Pediatric Dentistry recommend that you and your child visit the dentist every six months for regular checkups and routine teeth cleanings. We would love to see you here every six months to ensure that your child’s smile stays healthy!
When it’s time for your next dental appointment, please contact us.
A dental cleaning involves an appointment with one of our registered dental hygienists and, in most cases, a visit from the dentist following the hygienist’s treatment. Our hygienists are highly trained individuals who are committed to your dental health.
They will perform:
- A dental examination
- Evaluate the health of your gums
- Perform an oral cancer screening
- Take any necessary x-rays
- Remove any tartar and plaque
- Apply fluoride varnish to those patients more susceptible to decay
- Discuss any techniques or procedures that may help you avoid more invasive dental procedures in the future.
We believe that a dental cleaning is an important part of long-term oral health, as it is not just a cleaning, it is a preventative measure to avoid future dental emergencies and discomfort. A preventative dental visit (cleaning) lasts approximately an hour.
