Teeth Cleaning
Tooth cleanings performed by an oral health professional also include screening for warning signs of, for example, oral cancer.
Dental Tooth Cleaning | Preventative Maintenance For Dental Health | Lewiston, ME
Teeth cleaning by an oral health professional is much more than a cosmetic dental procedure. In experienced hands, tartar and plaque that’s built up on and between your teeth is removed. This prevents enamel-erasing bacteria from lurking in the crevices of your mouth, and can cause bigger issues down the road.
The first dental hygiene goal is to have your home routine on point when it comes to preventative care for your oral health and your smile. Then, it’s a good idea to still get regular teeth cleanings here in Lewiston, ME. The intensity of your cleaning here at Aspire Family Dentistry will depend in part on your home dental care routine.
We’ll also be checking for warning signs of gum disease, oral cancer, and more, like we do every time you visit our dental office.
