Dental Checkups & Teeth Cleanings
Each dental cleaning will start with an examination where we carefully check your teeth and gums for any abnormalities that might point to an oral health issue. Typically, at least one of your biannual visits will involve taking an X-ray. The next step is to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth using a metal instrument called a scaler; once that’s done, we’ll use a special brush and polishing toothpaste to make sure the teeth are cleaned as thoroughly as possible.
