Regular dental cleanings are the foundation upon which good oral health is built.

Visiting our hygienists will help us to be able to:

• Clean and polish your teeth
• Take radiographs if needed to check for cavities
• Detect the early signs of gum disease and treat it early
• Provide patient specific oral hygiene instructions
• Screen for signs of oral cancer or disease
• Check for signs of infections
• Provide diet and nutritional counseling
• Check to be sure children’s teeth are developing normally

Twice a year appointments are recommended for most people, however for some three or even four appointments per year may be suggested. It all depends on your risk factors for gum disease and the amount of plaque, tartar and staining that builds up on your teeth. As every person is unique, Dr. Seminara and his team strive to tailor our treatment plans to your specific needs.
