How often do I need a cleaning?

Most healthy adults need a cleaning every 6 months. Patients with gum disease, diabetes, pregnancy, or other risk factors often benefit from every 3 or 4 months.

For most patients, no. If you have sensitivity or have skipped cleanings for a while, we offer topical anesthetic and slower-paced visits. Just tell us.

What if it's been years?

Common. We'll start with a thorough exam and may recommend a periodontal cleaning first. Broken into manageable visits if needed. No judgment, no lecture.

Do you take my insurance?

We're out-of-network and file claims for you. Most patients still get strong cleaning coverage. Typically 80 to 100%.

First visit by age 1, or within 6 months of the first tooth. We keep early visits short, gentle, and mostly about getting comfortable in the chair.
