CleaningsProfessional cleanings performed by a hygienist or dental assistant are as important to your dental health as daily brushing and flossing. Regular cleanings are typically done in combination with exams, and are your first line of defence in stopping major dental issues before they can develop.

Left unattended, small treatable problems become worse and may require more extensive, expensive procedures to repair.

It also seals out the harmful bacteria that result in tooth decay. These bacteria are found in plaque, which can build up relatively fast in these deep areas, especially without proper brushing and flossing.

Regular visits to Metropolitan Dental Specialty Group can improve the chances that any suspicious changes in your oral health will be caught early, at a time when cancer can be treated more easily.
