Cleanings & hygiene
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing cannot reach. Your recommended visit schedule is based on your gum health and clinical needs.

Common questions
What to know about preventive dentistry
How often should I have a dental cleaning?
Many patients benefit from six-month visits, while people managing gum disease or other risk factors may need care more often. Dr. Hanson will recommend a schedule based on your needs.
Are digital dental X-rays safe?
Digital imaging uses a focused, low-dose technique. We take images only when they are expected to provide useful diagnostic information and follow appropriate safety practices.
Do adults benefit from fluoride?
Some adults do, particularly those with dry mouth, exposed roots, or frequent cavities. We assess your individual risk before recommending treatment.
How do night guards help?
A custom guard creates a protective barrier between the teeth and may reduce damage from nighttime grinding or clenching.
