What happens
Your hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar with an ultrasonic tool and hand scaler, polishes the surface, and finishes with fluoride varnish.
Why it matters
Regular cleanings prevent gum disease, catch cavities early, and keep breath fresh — most issues we treat could have been avoided with steady cleanings.
