It's not just a cleaning

Prevention should serve as a lifestyle pattern for total health, not the least of which is dental health. Prevention in dentistry leads to improved long-term oral health and reduced dental costs. It encourages a bright smile, fresh breath, and an overall good feeling of personal security. Prevention is your insurance policy toward a healthier, pain-free, happier lifestyle.

Our hygienists provide excellent service to assist in the maintenance of your overall dental health. Your cooperation can serve to increase your knowledge of your present oral condition. When you keep your regularly scheduled appointments with your hygienist, the following benefits will result:

  • Our hygienist will customize a personal home and periodontal maintenance program for you, and inform you of those dental products which are appropriate for your particular needs. You will be instructed in the proper methods of toothbrushing, flossing, and adjunctive dental health devices.
  • Your entire mouth will be thoroughly and carefully examined for periodontal (gum) disease, growths, lesions, and any abnormalities that would affect your general health.


  • Your teeth will be scaled, root planed, and polished to remove plaque and calculus (tartar) both above and below the gum line, eliminating bacteria that lead to cavities, bad breath, and gum disease.

    Periodontal disease is a silent invader, presenting itself in various forms such as puffy, bleeding gums. Although your mouth may appear to be in good health at this time, stresses, body changes, life changes, medications, illness, and age can tax your immune system. Maintaining regular re-care appointments with your hygienist and follow-ups with your dentist offers you the assurance that any problems in regard to your oral care will be addressed immediately.Taking care of tomorrow’s problems today will give you tremendous peace of mind.Remember: it’s not just a cleaning, it’s an INVESTMENT in your overall health!
