Teeth Cleanings

The ADA recommends that everyone starting at the age of two should visit the dentist for a professional hygiene appointment two times per year. Our gentle hygienists will inspect your gums for periodontal disease, the leading cause of tooth loss for American adults. We prefer to help you maintain optimal oral health so that you never have to worry about gum disease. However, if you develop periodontal problems, we’re here to help you.

If we find cause for concern, we may recommend that you change your oral health-care routine or the products you use at home. We may also suggest a deep cleaning, which involves:

• Scaling to remove tartar from above and below the gum line
• Antibiotic treatment to kill the bacterial infection
• Laser therapy to disinfect below the gum line

Virginia Family Dental offers comprehensive dental care including teeth cleanings.  For more information, call today at (218) 741-0405 to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists.
