What Are Dental Cleanings & Exams?
Dental cleanings and exams are preventive services that play a crucial role in maintaining oral health. At Summit Dental Akron, our dental cleanings involve removing plaque and tartar from teeth surfaces, which cannot be achieved by brushing and flossing alone. This process helps prevent cavities and gum disease. The exams include a thorough inspection of your teeth, gums, and mouth to check for any signs of oral health issues.
Who Benefits from Dental Cleanings & Exams?
Dental cleanings and exams are essential for everyone, from young children experiencing their first tooth eruption to older adults who may face age-related dental issues. These services are particularly vital for individuals who have a history of dental issues, such as cavities or gum disease, and those who wear braces, as they are more prone to plaque buildup.
