Dental Cleanings

What Is a Dental Cleaning?

A dental cleaning is a professional procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth, keeping your smile healthy and fresh. Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque can accumulate over time, leading to cavities and gum disease. Regular cleanings help prevent dental issues and maintain your oral health.
