Teeth Cleaning

Preventive Dentistry Begins with General Teeth Cleaning

Having your teeth professionally cleaned not only helps prevent gum disease and breath issues but also plays an important role in the overall health care needs of patients with heart disease, diabetes, stroke or during pregnancy. Professional teeth cleaning will remove bacterial plaque and mineral tartar buildup in order to prevent damage and disease. A professional cleaning usually takes about 45 minutes and delivers an overall comfortable experience. At Auburn Family Dental, we are dedicated to providing you and your family with the highest standard of care and our team of skilled dental professionals has the experience to ensure your appointment is thorough and informative.
