Dental Exams & Cleanings

Maintain Your Smile’s Health and Shine

Regular dental exams and cleanings are crucial preventive measures to maintain optimal oral health. These routine visits allow dentists to diagnose and treat potential dental issues before they become more serious.

A dental exam involves a dentist performing a thorough examination of the teeth, gums, and other oral tissues, including an oral cancer screening. A hygienist or dentist will remove the plaque and tartar that has accumulated on the teeth and around the gums.
