FAQ

How can I maintain good dental hygiene at home?
You don’t have a skilled hygienist to help you maintain your oral health on a daily basis, but by brushing and rinsing at least twice a day and flossing daily, your at-home oral hygiene routine can keep your teeth and gums healthy between your routine dental visits.
What services are performed at a scheduled cleaning?

Services your hygienist will perform during your cleaning include:

  • A review of your dental and medical history
  • An oral cancer screening
  • An evaluation of your overall oral health
  • X-rays to detect decay
  • Removal of stains, plaque, and tartar
  • A fluoride application
  • Sealants
  • Polishing of all teeth
  • At-home oral health education and instruction
