General Teeth Cleaning

Regular dentist visits for teeth cleaning are key to strong teeth and good oral health.

The American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist at least once a year, with many people needing repeated visits.

General cleanings involve:

• Cavity check
• Plaque build-up removal
• Partial removal of surface stains
• Fluoride treatment
• X-Rays

Besides promoting good oral health, stopping in for a general cleaning can also be a preventative measure.

Reasons you might want to visit your dentist:

• Toothache
• Cracked or broken tooth
• Jaw pain
• Bleeding gums
• Bad breath

All of these might be things that point to a much more serious issue that will require more expensive work down the road.

Make sure you keep up with regular check-ups to go along with daily maintenance.
