Routine Cleanings - Keep your teeth clean

          Regular dental cleanings are the only way to remove tartar or hard deposits from your teeth, which helps to prevent gum disease. When your hygienist polishes your teeth it not only makes them look and feel better, it smoothes and polishes tooth surfaces so they are less likely to accumulate plaque. When the dentist comes to do a check up at the end of the cleaning, he can catch small dental problems and treat them before they become large and painful.
