What's Included in Your Cleaning & Checkup

Why Regular Cleanings Matter

Even with excellent home care, plaque hardens into tartar (calculus) that only professional instruments can remove. Left untreated, tartar causes:

• Cavities: Bacteria produce acid that erodes enamel
• Gum Disease: Inflammation leads to bleeding, recession, and bone loss
• Bad Breath: Bacteria release sulfur compounds
• Tooth Loss: Advanced gum disease destroys supporting structures
• Systemic Health Issues: Linked to heart disease, diabetes, and stroke

Professional cleanings every 6 months prevent these problems and keep your smile healthy for life.
