Routine Cleanings That Keep Your Smile Strong

The best dental care is preventative. Routine cleanings are a chance to care for your health in a setting that feels calm and familiar. We keep wait times short, offer flexible scheduling for busy families, and make sure every visit is comfortable and efficient.

Every 6 months, we recommend coming in for a professional cleaning, full exam, and oral cancer screening. You’ll leave knowing your smile is in great shape and if anything needs attention, we’ll catch it early when it’s easier and less costly to fix.

How often should I get a dental cleaning?

We recommend a cleaning and exam every 6 months. It helps catch small issues before they become expensive problems and keeps your gums and teeth in top shape year round.

What happens during a dental cleaning?

We gently remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and check for signs of decay or gum disease. You’ll also get a full exam and oral cancer screening from the doctor.

Do dental cleanings hurt?

Most cleanings are completely comfortable. If you’ve had a bad experience in the past or have sensitive teeth, let us know. We’ll tailor your visit to keep you at ease the whole time.

Are cleanings really necessary if I brush and floss?

Yes. Even with great home care, plaque can harden into tartar in places your toothbrush can’t reach. Cleanings keep buildup under control and help prevent cavities and gum issues.
