FOR ONGOING DENTAL HEALTH
Teeth Cleanings
Twice-a-year cleanings are key to preventing plaque build-up, gum disease, and the more serious problems that can result. In addition to professional cleaning and plaque removal known as dental prophylaxis, you’ll get a fluoride treatment, flossing, and teeth polishing. Most people actually feel cleaner when they’re done.

Home Care Help
Daily tooth and gum care is essential for keeping you healthy and avoiding problems between dentist visits. After a cleaning, you’ll receive a personalized list of action items, plus recommendations for your ‘toolkit.’ And to help you develop good long-term habits, we’ll provide a card with personalized home care instructions.
FOR GUM DISEASE
Gum Treatment
When gum disease has already taken hold, visits for periodontal maintenance may be more frequent to get things under control. Deeper procedures such as scaling and root planning may be called for to remove hardened tartar, and an antibiotic called Atridox® may be inserted into gums.
