Professional Dental Hygiene

Everyone over the age of four or five should visit the dentist for a professional hygiene appointment. The frequency of these appointments will be determined by your risk factors. For many, twice a year is adequate, while others may need three or fours times a year. Our gentle hygienist will evaluate your gums for periodontal disease, one of the leading causes of tooth loss for American adults. Our hygienist is specially trained to prevent and treat gum disease. We prefer to help you maintain optimal oral health so that you never have to worry about gum disease. However, if you have periodontal problems, we're here to help you.

If we find cause for concern, we may recommend that you change your oral healthcare routine or the products you use at home. We may also suggest periodontal therapy, which may include:

Scaling to remove tartar from below the gum line
Root planing to smooth rough root surfaces where plaque builds up
Arestin antibiotic treatment to reduce the bacterial infection
