Cleanings & Exams
Promote Oral Health
Regular teeth cleanings at My Family Dentist prevent the buildup of plaque and identify potential concerns such as gingivitis.
What is oral hygiene?
Routine dental cleanings and exams are necessary in order to prevent potential dental and medical issues, such as gum disease, infection, and more. Visiting My Family Dentist twice a year will improve your oral health and reinforce your home-care oral health regimen of brushing and flossing. Our dental hygienist will use a scaler to remove any plaque and tartar between your teeth and the gum line. Keep in mind that tartar can only be removed at a dental office with the right training and tools. Once the plaque and tartar are removed, our dental hygienist will use a powerful toothbrush to further clean your teeth. Then, we’ll floss your teeth to prevent bacteria build up and gum disease. If necessary, we may provide a fluoride treatment to strengthen the enamel of the teeth.
