Checkups & Cleanings

A preventive dental cleaning (prophylaxis) is done every six months. In our office, a dental cleaning includes removal of plaque, tarter, and stain, an assessment for gum disease (periodontal disease), patient education and product recommendations. Digital X-rays are taken once a year to detect cavities or any other problems that you may be having. Dr. German checks each patient's overall dental health and also does a cancer screening.
