General and preventive dentistry

The core of the practice is preventive care and early treatment of dental problems. During routine checkups, hygienists perform cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth and around the gums, and polish the tooth surface to make it harder for bacteria to adhere and to reduce enamel wear.
