Family Dental Cleaning in Glen Burnie, MD
Dental Exams &Cleanings, Explained
Every dental exam includes a full oral hygiene assessment and gum health evaluation, so Dr. Bennett or Dr. Harris can catch early signs of decay or disease. Catching problems early means simple, conservative care and better cavity prevention long before major treatment is needed.
Even with diligent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar build up in hard-to-reach areas. Our hygiene team provides professional teeth cleaning using gentle tools for plaque and tartar removal, followed by a smooth professional polishing to protect your enamel.
