Prevention is the cornerstone of effective dentistry, and regular cleanings play a crucial role in maintaining optimal oral health. At Amy K. Lee, DDS, we recommend biannual cleanings and examinations for all our patients. These routine visits are more than just a maintenance check; they are essential for preventing dental issues before they arise.
During your professional cleaning, we meticulously remove hard plaque and tartar that cannot be eliminated through regular brushing and flossing alone. This thorough cleaning helps prevent gum disease, cavities, and other oral health problems. We also provide a fluoride treatment, which strengthens your tooth enamel and provides an extra layer of protection against decay. Additionally, a polishing treatment leaves your teeth looking cleaner and brighter, enhancing your smile’s appearance.
Even if it has been more than two years since your last cleaning, it’s never too late to start prioritizing your dental health. Our team is here to ensure that your gums and teeth are in the best condition possible, regardless of how long it has been since your last visit.
