For Your Teeth Cleaning

Your hygienist will perform a professional cleaning of your teeth. they will use special dental tools to remove any plaque and tartar that may be built up on the surface of your teeth. Lastly, your hygienist will polish your teeth to make them appear brighter and smoother. You will be provided with the tools to keep this hygiene up on a daily basis.

It is important for you to take care of your teeth and gums in between dental visits! Be sure to brush your teeth at least three times a day, and floss at least once. This will help minimize the amount of plaque and tartar build up that can lead to tooth decay and disease. If you need help learning how to properly brush and floss, please ask at your next office visit and we will be happy to show you how!

To schedule your next regular checkup, please call (209) 474-3333. Remember, you should be visiting your dentist at least every six months for a dental checkup — that's twice a year!
