The Benefits of Regular Cleanings

• Remove plaque and tartar to reduce the risk of gum inflammation and infection.
• Identify potential issues such as cavities and tooth decay at an early stage.
• Remove surface stains and discoloration to give you a smoother, brighter smile.

What’s Included in a Dental Cleaning?

A dental cleaning is more than just a polish. It’s your first line of defense against cavities, gum disease, and other issues that can sneak up on you over time. When you visit us for a cleaning, we’ll:

• Gently remove plaque and tartar buildup.
• Polish away surface stains.
• Screen for gum disease, decay, and other common concerns.
• Help you leave feeling like your best, brightest self.

We also take the time to answer questions, and talk you through anything you’re unsure about.

What to Expect at Your Appointment

Your cleaning should feel simple, stress-free, and comfortable. Here’s how it works:

• Step 1: We take a look, checking your teeth, gums, and overall oral health
• Step 2: Dr. Williams will clean, scale, and polish your teeth
• Step 3: She’ll then do an exam and chat about anything that needs attention
• Step 4: You head out feeling fresh, and we’ll see you in six months (or sooner, if needed!)

We’ll always let you know what’s going on and what to expect next, so you’re never left wondering.

Signs You Need a Dental Cleaning

• Bad breath: it could be a sign of poor oral hygiene or underlying dental issues
• Bleeding gums: often a symptom of gingivitis or the early stages of gum disease.
• Swollen or tender gums: indicate gum disease and other health issues
• Loose teeth: a common sign of advanced gum disease and other potential dental issues
• Changes in your bite: can be a sign that you’re overdue for a check-up
