A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing. Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.
"Google Review Great experience. Dr. Lesh and his staff are warm and welcoming. Dr. Lesh has very nice chair side manner and was willing to work with us to bond a 25 year old crown. He gave us options for the future and when needed we will have him to the dental work. Also, we will recommend Dr. Lesh to our family and friends."
