Brushing and flossing regularly will remove food particles and bacteria from your teeth. This helps to keep your gums healthy and prevents tooth decay. Professional cleanings help to remove tartar and stains that patients cannot remove during regular brushing and flossing and from hard to reach spots above and under the gums. Dr Cribbs and her dental hygiene team will also examine your mouth for tooth decay, gum disease, bite problems, oral cancer, and dental signs of health problems during your oral health appointment.
