Keep Your Smile Healthy with Checkups and Cleanings!
Having a dental practice perform a checkup and regular cleaning gives a preventive approach to dental care. These general dentistry treatments help prevent problems with your teeth, gums and jaw bones, or they catch and manage problems before they worsen. During your visit, our doctors will take a picture of the current standing of your dental health and what would be needed to keep your oral hygiene in its best state.
Regular Dental Visits Are Key to Your Oral Health
The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visiting the dentist at least twice a year. Regular exams and professional cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health. At Eldersburg Family Dental, our team delivers high-quality cleanings and comprehensive preventive exams.
Professional cleanings effectively remove harmful plaque and tartar buildup, helping to prevent tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other oral health problems. Additionally, our hygienist's cleanings can eliminate some surface stains, keeping your teeth looking whiter and brighter.
