Oral Hygiene

Traditional cleanings are an important small part of prevention. Regular oral exams and care keep you comfortable and healthy.  They are paramount for finding problems early and keeping them from turning into bigger issues. It can be the detection of gum disease as it gets started; or seeing wear and tear issues, like little cracks in teeth that can be strengthened, but if not addressed can lead to much more complex treatment later. We do thorough cancer screening at every hygiene visit.
