Dental Cleanings & Checkups
The foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
Why Are Routine Checkups So Important?
A routine dental checkup and cleaning (also called *prophylaxis*) is one of the most important things you can do for your oral and overall health. The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends a visit every six months.
These visits allow Dr. Mota and our team to catch potential problems like cavities or gum disease when they are small, simple, and less expensive to treat. A professional cleaning is the only way to remove hardened plaque (tartar) that regular brushing and flossing can't.
Benefits of Regular Cleanings
- Prevent cavities and gum disease.
- Remove stubborn plaque and tartar.
- Brighten your smile by removing surface stains.
- Get early detection for oral cancer.
- Save money by avoiding costly future treatments.
