Healthy teeth are clean teeth. That’s why we suggest that all of our patients–from toddlers with their first teeth to great-grandparents who want to keep their teeth as long as possible–schedule dental cleanings at least twice a year. These twice-yearly hygiene appointments not only stop the advance of plaque and bacteria that can lead to major issues like gum disease and tooth decay, they also leave your teeth feeling clean and smooth and looking bright and sparkling. Who doesn’t like that?
We use the advanced technology of ultrasonic scalers to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth–even in hard-to-reach places between your teeth–and from the pockets along your gum line. These ultrasonic devices use sound waves along with a gentle jet of water for an incredibly efficient and comfortable cleaning experience. Even children and those with extra-sensitive mouths say ultrasonic cleanings have changed their smiles!
