Routine dental cleanings and exams are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up over time, increasing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Dr. Brian Allen provides professional dental cleanings and exams in Gresham, Oregon, to help patients achieve and maintain healthy smiles.
Why Are Dental Cleanings and Exams Important?
Regular dental visits allow for early detection and prevention of potential oral health issues. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that cannot be eliminated with at-home care, while exams help identify concerns before they become serious problems. Our dentist recommends routine dental cleanings and exams to:
- Prevent cavities and gum disease
- Detect oral health issues in their early stages
- Maintain fresh breath and a bright smile
- Remove plaque and tartar buildup
- Protect overall health by reducing the risk of infections linked to oral bacteria
By scheduling regular dental visits, you can keep your teeth and gums in excellent condition while avoiding costly treatments in the future.
