Regular Dental Cleanings
A dental cleaning should be scheduled preferably every six months. Brushing and flossing are both important in order to maintain dental health, but there are some areas that the toothbrush cannot reach, and a professional dental cleaning ensures that the teeth and gums are cleaned properly. The dental hygienist usually performs the dental cleaning, and they will examine the teeth and gums and advise the patient as well as Dr. López on any abnormalities or issues that they detect. If the hygienist finds periodontal pockets or the beginning stages of gingivitis, they will advise on what can be done to treat the problem. They may advise that the patient comes in every three months for a dental cleaning, or a deep cleaning may be recommended.
