Dental Cleanings & Checkups

Our office is here to help you care for all of your dental needs, starting with routine hygiene maintenance. While proper home care is very important, professional cleanings twice a year are necessary to help avoid periodontal disease (also known as gum disease). Gum disease is the number one contributor to bone and tooth loss, and it is estimated that 70% of the population is prone to gum disease. 

Professional Dental Cleanings

Your dental cleaning will be preformed by a Registered Dental Hygienist and will include an examination by Dr. Nick. The hygienist is specialty trained to remove tartar from above and below the gum line using ultrasonic dental instruments. This tartar builds up over time and cannot be removed by a toothbrush with regular at home brushing. The hygienist will also remove any plaque, floss in between your teeth, and polish your teeth.
