It is important to have a professional cleaning (also known as teeth cleaning and teeth scaling) at regular intervals, every four to six months as prescribed by your dentist or dental hygienist. A dental hygiene and check up appointment at Concourse Dental Group consists of:

• Screening for signs of oral cancer.
• A thorough exam to look for cavities and other tooth problems.
• An assessment of your gums including measuring the depth of your gums, looking for early signs of periodontal disease.
• Low dose x-rays if necessary to locate decay not visible to the naked eye.
