Prevention and oral hygiene

What a cleaning entails

During a cleaning, we remove tartar and plaque from areas you can't reach at home: under the gum line, between the molars, and behind your lower front teeth. We polish your teeth, check the condition of your gums, and provide brushing advice tailored to your teeth. We determine together how often you come. No more than necessary, no less than sensible.
