What Are Dental Cleanings & Exams?
Dental cleanings and exams are preventive visits designed to protect your teeth and gums. During a cleaning, plaque and tartar are gently removed to keep your smile fresh and cavity-free. An exam allows our dentists to spot potential issues early—before they become costly or painful. These regular visits are essential for maintaining both oral and overall health.
