Dental hygiene
Cleanings do more than freshen your smile — they protect the foundation of your oral health. Even with excellent home care, plaque and tartar collect in the places your toothbrush can’t reach. A professional cleaning removes buildup, supports healthy gums, and gives us a chance to monitor small changes before they turn into bigger concerns.
Most importantly, regular hygiene visits help you maintain comfort, confidence, and long-term oral health.
What hygiene visits support
• Lower risk of cavities and sensitivity
• Earlier detection of changes or concerns
• A smoother, polished, freshly cleaned smile
Why cleanings matter
Plaque and tartar contribute to gum disease, bad breath, staining, and deeper infections if left untreated. Removing buildup gives your gums space to heal and helps maintain stability long-term. Hygiene visits also create time for you to ask questions, get guidance on home care, and address anything that feels different or new.
What happens during a cleaning
Your hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar, smooths the tooth surfaces, and polishes for a clean, refreshed feel. Throughout the appointment, we point out anything we notice and share simple tips to support your oral health at home.
You leave knowing where things stand and what, if anything, to plan for next.
