We often talk about treating problems, but the foundation of lifelong oral health is prevention, which starts with your bi-annual visit to the hygienist. This appointment is about much more than just a quick polish! The key procedure, called scaling, involves carefully removing hardened plaque (tartar) that you simply cannot remove at home.
We also check for early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and even oral cancer. This proactive approach saves you from more complex, time-consuming, and expensive procedures later. A professional clean resets your oral health, leaving your mouth feeling incredibly fresh and reducing your risk of infection. We recommend booking your next appointment as you leave the current one—it’s the best way to ensure you maintain your smile on a consistent schedule! When was your last professional cleaning?
