Get a thorough clean from our caring hygienists, plus personalized tips and product recommendations to keep your gums and teeth in top shape between visits.
Preventive cleanings—also called prophylaxis—are routine visits designed for patients with healthy gums and no active gum disease. Typically recommended twice a year, these cleanings remove plaque and tartar from areas that are tough to fully reach at home—like along the gumline and between teeth. The goal isn’t just a polished smile—it’s to maintain gum health and catch early changes before they become more serious.
Even with good brushing and flossing habits, it’s totally normal for buildup to sneak in over time. That’s why staying on a twice-a-year schedule is so important—it gives your provider the chance to keep everything on track and help you make small adjustments before problems develop.
And while gum disease can run in families, it’s not just genetics. Anyone can develop inflammation or gum issues if hygiene slips or visits are delayed. The good news? With regular care and a personalized routine, most of it is preventable—and manageable. These visits are your chance to stay ahead, ask questions, and make sure your smile stays strong for the long haul!
