Teeth Cleanings
Keeping your teeth clean and healthy is vital for your overall oral health. That’s why we emphasize the importance of regular teeth cleanings and dental checkups to prevent cavities, gum disease and other dental issues. By scheduling at least two cleanings per year, you can maintain optimal dental health and catch potential problems early.
Regular Dental Checkups
In addition to daily brushing and flossing, regular dental checkups are essential for maintaining a healthy smile. During your checkup with Dr. LoPresti, your teeth will be professionally cleaned to remove plaque and tartar that can’t be eliminated by regular brushing alone. Dr. LoPresti will also thoroughly examine your teeth, gums and jaw to identify any signs of decay, gum disease or other issues.

What can I expect during a teeth cleaning?
During a teeth cleaning, you can expect a thorough and gentle cleaning process. This includes removing plaque and tartar buildup, polishing your teeth to remove surface stains and flossing between your teeth. The hygienist will also check for any signs of cavities or gum disease and may provide fluoride treatment to strengthen your teeth.
