Patients with healthy teeth and gums are recommended to have a dental cleaning appointment every six months. Patients with gum disease may require cleanings more frequently, between every two to four months.

X-rays are a normal part of the dental preventative regimen, and are conducted routinely at cleaning appointments. A detection X-ray should be taken once a year, and a full panoramic typically every 5 years.

Fluoride treatments are standard for children, and are optional for adults. Sealants are also recommended for children with permanent molars.

Please review our Special Treatments to see which are available for you to choose from to make your visit to the dentist more comfortable.
