Simple Steps:
  1. Checkup: We examine your teeth and gums.

  4. Flossing: Clean between teeth.
  5. Rinse: Clear away debris.
  6. (Optional) Fluoride: Apply gel to strengthen teeth.
  • Frequency: Recommended every 6 months (some may need more).
  • Comfort: Usually painless; you might feel vibrations or pressure. Temporary sensitivity is possible if you have heavy buildup.
  • Importance: Skipping cleanings allows tartar buildup, increasing risk of cavities, gum disease, and sensitivity.

Fluoride is a natural mineral that strengthens tooth enamel, making teeth more resistant to decay.
