Not having a toothache doesn’t mean your teeth are in top condition. Specialists recommend at least one annual check-up. Check-ups and professional dental cleanings on a regular basis, along with a few good oral hygiene habits at home, are essential to maintain healthy teeth and gums.

A thorough examination of your mouth is carried out at the dental clinic in order to detect any anomaly early, prevent tooth decay, gum or periodontal disease, the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. Every cent invested in prevention can save ten or more on specific treatments.

What does professional dental cleaning involve?
