MAINTAINING YOUR PICTURE PERFECT SMILE WITH GENERAL DENTISTRY
While a proper brushing and flossing routine is an important part of practicing good oral hygiene, regular dental cleanings through professional general dentistry are highly recommended to assist in maintaining a healthy smile. Dental cleanings are necessary as they remove tartar and plaque build-up that your home hygiene routine may leave behind. Additionally, regular dental cleanings assist in preventing the development of gum disease - a disease that, if left untreated, can eventually result in tooth loss.
It’s never too early, or late, to begin visits to KLT Dentistry for your dental cleanings. We accept patients of all ages, with current patients ranging in age from six months to 102 years-old!
For individuals with overall good oral hygiene and health, a dental cleaning twice a year is optimal. However, if gum disease is evident, we may recommend a dental cleaning three to four times a year in order to combat and prevent further damage to teeth and gums.
