Cleanings and Exams

Regular professional cleanings and exams can prevent tooth and gum disease as well as alert you to emerging conditions before they are well advanced.

Dr. Arnold checks all cleanings and performs all exams personally. A typical cleaning involves the removal of plaque and tartar from teeth, a thorough flossing and polishing to remove stains. A professional cleaning will leave your teeth feeling smooth and fresh and will help prevent gum and tooth decay.

During the exam, we look for signs of oral cancer, gum disease, early tooth decay and check your x-rays for evidence of tumors or other issues that are not readily apparent.

The dentist will also share the latest tips and techniques for better brushing, flossing and overall oral health.

The Benefits: You will learn about how best to care for your teeth as well as create optimum conditions to ward off gum and tooth decay. Regular exams will also alert you to problems you can address before they get too serious.
