What Are Dental Cleanings?
Dental cleanings are a type of preventative dentistry treatment designed to remove plaque, tartar and surface stains that cannot be removed simply by brushing and flossing at home. One of our skilled dental hygienists cleans your teeth while also monitoring your oral health for early signs of potential concerns.
Why Are Regular Dental Cleanings So Important?
Routine cleanings are an important part of preventative dentistry because they help reduce the risk of cavities, gingivitis and gum disease, bad breath and in extreme cases, tooth loss. Many of these dental problems begin without causing pain or noticeable symptoms. By the time patients begin to experience noticeable symptoms, the recommended treatment may be more involved and costly than if the problem had been found earlier.
Routine dental cleanings allow our team to identify small concerns before they become more extensive. During each appointment, Dr. Kramer and our team evaluate your teeth and gums while helping you maintain a cleaner, healthier smile.

The Connection Between Healthy Smiles And Your Overall Health
Your oral health plays more of a role in your overall health than you might expect. Healthy gums support healthy teeth, while tooth decay can cause more serious dental concerns over time. Additionally, the Mayo Clinic reports that studies suggest that dental and inflammation may play a role in developing certain diseases. Routine visits to our office help reduce plaque and bacteria while allowing our team to monitor changes in your oral health at every visit.
