Why are regular teeth cleanings important?
Even with excellent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleanings remove these deposits, helping prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Cleanings also allow your dental team to detect issues early, before they become painful or costly. By scheduling routine cleanings, you protect your teeth, support your oral health, and invest in a confident smile that lasts for families of all ages seeking lifelong dental comfort and confidence.

How often do I need a dental checkup?
Most people benefit from a dental checkup every six months, but the ideal schedule can vary depending on individual needs. Regular visits help us catch cavities, gum disease, and other issues early—often before you feel pain. Cleanings also eliminate plaque and tartar that brushing alone can’t. Some patients, such as those with gum disease, diabetes, or a history of frequent cavities, may need visits more often. Our team will recommend a personalized schedule to keep your smile healthy, comfortable, and confident year-round.

Why are brushing and flossing important?
Brushing twice daily removes plaque and food particles that can lead to cavities, bad breath, and gum disease. Flossing reaches areas your toothbrush can’t, cleaning between teeth and along the gumline where bacteria often hide. Together, these habits help prevent tooth decay, reduce inflammation, and support overall oral health.

What are other preventative dental care treatments?
Preventive dental care goes beyond routine checkups and cleanings to keep your smile healthy year-round. Dental sealants protect vulnerable grooves in teeth from cavities, especially for children and teens. Fluoride treatments strengthen enamel and help prevent decay. Periodontal screenings monitor gum health and catch early signs of disease. Mouthguards can prevent damage from grinding or sports injuries. Together, these preventive services help reduce future dental problems, lower long-term costs, and support overall oral and general health.
