Is it time to have your teeth cleaned?

You know that good oral hygiene and regular check-ups keep your teeth and gums healthy. But dental cleanings can also improve and protect your overall health as well.

Recent studies have linked a variety of oral health issues to whole-body health issues. For example, periodontal disease has been linked with an increased risk of heart disease and strokes. If cavities are left uncared for they can cause abscesses, infections and loss of jawbone.

We use a variety of comfortable and highly effective tools to assist us in your dental cleaning. One of our most powerful tools is the ultrasonic scaler, which uses high frequency sound waves (instead of metal scrapers and hand scalers) to clean teeth. This method is not only amazingly gentle but has also been proven effective in removing tartar from both above and below the gum line. We use these ultrasonic scalers both for regular cleanings and for more advanced periodontal care.
