Ensuring optimal oral health goes beyond daily brushing and flossing. Regular dental cleanings and exams help you keep your healthy smile by allowing Dr. Nerissa Aquino to detect and treat dental problems before they arise. These routine procedures not only address existing issues but also prevent potential problems from arising.

The Importance of Dental Cleanings


Dental cleanings and exams are recommended biannually for most individuals. However, you may be advised to visit more frequently based on your oral health needs. If you have a history of gum disease, cavities or other dental issues, more frequent cleanings and exams may be necessary.

During a dental cleaning, a dental hygienist will carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup, focusing on hard-to-reach areas. Our dentist will then conduct a thorough examination, checking for signs of cavities, gum disease and other oral health issues. X-rays may be taken to detect potential issues beneath the surface.
