Preventative Dentistry (Dental Cleaning)

Routine maintenance and preventative dental services are essential for your oral health. In addition to brushing and flossing your teeth at home, it is recommended that all patients have regular check-ups with a dental hygienist at least every six months. The four main treatment options provided for hygiene are scaling, root planing, polishing, and fluoride appliance.

Scaling - Removal of plaque and tartar above and below the gumline.

Root Planing - Smoothening rough surfaces by removing subgingival bacteria.

Polishing - Removal of stains, allowing tooth surface to become shiny and smooth.

Fluoride - Remineralization of tooth enamel.
