A dental cleaning from Alexa Dental Clinic is one of the most important things you can do to maintain superior oral health and total wellness. The dental cleaning portion of your visit will take about 30-35 minutes, but can vary, depending on patient need. However there is a thorough review of your medical history prior to the beginning of the procedure. Your over-all health is of the utmost importance to us and can be influenced by the health of your mouth. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums, and tooth decay.
