Dental Cleaning

About the Procedure

Cleaning your teeth by a professional dental hygienist is an essential element of your oral health maintenance plan. Naturally occurring plaque is hard to remove and will cause gingivitis and periodontal disease. Once plaque hardens into calculus, it cannot be removed by the patient.
