Cleaning and Prevention
Dentistry is founded on the principle of prevention. All patients are recommended biannual cleanings and examinations. Not only do they help you quash dental problems before they arise, they leave your gums healthier, and your teeth feeling cleaner. A professional cleaning removes hard plaque that cannot be removed by brushing and flossing alone. It also involves a fluoride treatment and polish to help protect and soothe your teeth and gums. Sometimes we have to clean deeper. Dr. Deuk will discuss this with you and show you what he sees and why.
If you haven’t hadn't had a cleaning in years, now is the best time to care for them.
What are some preventive measures I can take?
Brush gently with toothpaste 2 - 3 times per day
