Catch small problems while they’re still small.
Regular cleanings and exams are the foundation of a healthy smile. Professional cleanings remove the plaque and tartar that brushing misses, and routine exams catch cavities, gum disease and other problems early, when they are easier and less expensive to treat. Most patients benefit from a cleaning and exam every six months.

Which cleaning?
Regular cleaning vs. deep cleaning.
A regular professional cleaning removes plaque and tartar above the gum line. If you have gum disease, a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) cleans below the gum line to remove bacteria and help the gums heal. Your hygienist will measure your gums and recommend the right cleaning for you.
