What is a Cleaning and Checkup?
A cleaning and checkup are both part of a larger preventative care regimen. Taking good care of your teeth at home is important, but you need to make time to visit the dentist twice a year for a professional cleaning and exam. The cleaning works to get rid of hardened plaque and calculus that’s impossible to remove on your own. The exam checks for signs of decay or other intraoral-related problems.
Why do you need a Cleaning and Checkup?
You will need a cleaning and exam twice a year as part of your preventative care routine. A cleaning is done by a licensed hygienist, who works to take care of your teeth and remove hardened debris. Our doctor will perform an exam that helps to spot problems before they are allowed to get worse. It’s never too late to make an appointment and be seen by our doctor.
