Our Cleaning & Prevention services are designed to maintain your oral health, prevent common dental issues like cavities and gum disease, and catch potential problems early before they become more serious.

In this section, you’ll find a range of services dedicated to keeping your smile bright and healthy. Explore our Cleaning & Prevention offerings below:
1. Oral Cancer Screening
Your oral health is about more than just your teeth. At each checkup, we perform a thorough Oral Cancer Screening to detect any early signs of abnormal tissue changes. Oral cancer can affect anyone, and early detection is key to successful treatment. We use advanced technology, such as VELscope®, to examine all areas of the mouth, including the tongue, gums, and throat. Regular screenings help ensure that any concerns are identified early, giving you peace of mind about your overall health.
2. Home Care
Maintaining your oral health between visits is just as important as your in-office care. We provide personalized recommendations for Home Care routines, helping you choose the right tools and products to support your dental health. Whether it’s selecting the best toothbrush, learning how to floss properly, or understanding the benefits of fluoride, we’ll guide you in establishing habits that protect your teeth and gums. We also offer tips for patients at higher risk of dental issues, ensuring everyone has a plan for success at home.

Regular cleanings help prevent cavities and gum disease, and exams allow us to monitor your oral health, addressing any concerns before they become more serious.

4. Teeth Cleaning
A professional Teeth Cleaning goes beyond what your regular brushing and flossing can accomplish. Even with the best home care, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas, leading to gum disease and tooth decay. Our hygienists use specialized tools to gently remove these deposits, ensuring that your teeth and gums stay healthy. Teeth cleanings also help prevent bad breath and keep your smile bright by reducing discoloration and staining.

5. Periodontal Therapy
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults, but it can be prevented and managed with proper care. Our Periodontal Therapy services focus on treating gum disease, from early stages like gingivitis to more advanced forms like periodontitis. We offer scaling and root planing to deep clean below the gum line, removing bacteria and tartar that contribute to inflammation and infection. Our goal is to restore your gum health and prevent further damage.
