Routine cleanings and exams are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. During these visits, we thoroughly clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar that can lead to cavities and gum disease. We also conduct a comprehensive oral exam to detect any signs of dental issues early on. Regular cleanings help prevent the buildup of harmful bacteria and ensure that your smile stays bright and healthy. Dr. Orr and Dr. Renfroe recommend scheduling a cleaning and exam every six months to maintain your oral health.

For patients who are at risk of or already experiencing gum disease, periodontal cleanings are an essential part of treatment. Also known as scaling and root planing, this deep cleaning process removes plaque and tartar from below the gumline, helping to prevent the progression of gum disease and promoting gum health. Periodontal cleanings are vital in protecting against tooth loss and other complications related to gum disease, and they play a crucial role in maintaining overall oral health.

Dental sealants are a simple, effective way to protect your teeth from cavities. Sealants are thin, protective coatings applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars, where decay often starts. This barrier helps prevent food particles and bacteria from settling into the grooves of your teeth, reducing the risk of cavities. Sealants are particularly beneficial for children and teenagers, but adults can also benefit from this preventative treatment. Applying sealants is quick, painless, and helps provide protection against tooth decay.
