Having a dental cleaning is a fun experience and when you're done, you have sparkling clean and shiny teeth ! Everyone should have one done every six months. Patients with Periodontal Disease should have a prophylaxis every three to four months. It is also called a dental prophylaxis.

          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. It's done by a  Registered Dental Hygienist. During the procedure the hygienist removes soft and hard food deposits by using dental hand and rotary instruments. A special paste is then 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 patient double protection against cavities doing much damage. The examination done after the prophylaxis also helps avoid dental problems before they get big by discovering them early. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure !!
