 Regular examinations at your dentist's office are essential to promoting good oral and dental health by detecting problems before they get worse, or preventing them altogether.
Below are some of the preventive services that our practice provides.
Dental Cleanings & ExamsProfessional cleanings performed by a hygienist or dental assistant are as important to your dental health as daily brushing and flossing. Twice yearly dental check-ups and cleanings help catch problems when they are small and easier to treat. Left unattended, small treatable problems become worse and may require more extensive, expensive procedures to repair. During your exam, the dentist can also perform an oral cancer screening.
