Having a dental cleaning is a fun experience and when you're done, you have sparkling clean and shiny teeth! Everyone should have a dental cleaning every six months.

          Dental insurance companies pay most or all of the costs of a dental cleaning and because recent dental research has found that gum disease can cause heart attacks and strokes it is especially important for everyone to make the time to receive this very important dental service.

          A dental cleaning is done by a  Registered Dental Hygienist. During a dental cleaning the hygienist removes soft and hard food deposits by using dental hand and rotary instruments. After a dental cleaning a special paste is used to polish your teeth.

          Both the dental hygienist and the dentist do dental examinations on every patient after each dental cleaning. This provides the dental cleaning patient double protection against cavities doing much damage.  

        A dental cleaning is sometimes called a dental prophylaxis.

          There is no good reason  to avoid regularly visiting the dentist every six months for a dental cleaning. Our office accepts insurance payments so that our insurance patients pay very little for this very valuable dental service.
