You can get a dental checkup and cleaning for as little as twenty-five dollars.

Teeth cleaning is a prophylactic dental procedure performed to thoroughly clean the teeth. Regularly scheduled teeth cleanings are important for stopping gingivitis. Dental Cleanings are effective in keeping the oral cavity in good health and halting the progression of gingivitis.

The benefits include:

• Fresher breath. Bad breath or halitosis is generally a sign of advancing periodontal disease. A combination of rotting food pieces (possibly below the gum line) and potential gangrene stemming from gum infection, results in bad breath. The routine removal of plaque, calculus, and bacteria can significantly reduce halitosis and infection of the gums.
• A healthier-looking smile. Yellow and stained teeth can dramatically decrease the esthetics of a smile. Teeth Cleanings are an effective step in getting rid of these unsightly stains.
• Plaque removal. Tartar, also referred to as calculus, and plaque buildup, both above and below the gum line, can result in severe periodontitis. Unfortunately, even if you brush and floss regularly at home, it can be impossible to remove all tartar, bacteria, and deposits from gum pockets. The experienced eye of a dentist using specialized dental equipment is necessary to treat potentially damaging buildup.
