How Do We Clean Your Teeth?

Step 1: Imaging

Taking images (x-rays) of your teeth so the doctor can look at the overall health of each tooth.

Step 2: Oral Exam

Our dentist will review these images and check on the teeth and gums for any concerns.

Step 3: Polishing

Your teeth will be polished to remove stains, and smooth the surface of your teeth.

Step 4: Flossing

Your teeth will be flossed to remove anything left between them. This will help get a closer look at possible concerning areas.

Step 5: Flouride

You'll have the option to receive fluoride treatment to help your enamel strengthen and protect against cavities.
