Teeth Cleaning

Poor dental hygiene can develop into more serious health problems such as gingivitis, periodontal disease and even contribute to heart disease. Klement Family Dental can improve your oral health with regular professional cleanings. The American Dental Association recommends that teeth be cleaned professionally twice a year. In some cases, you may need more frequent cleanings. For example, if you have significant tartar buildup or if you have gum disease, you may need more frequent cleanings.

Dental Exam

Regular dental exams allow us to address dental problems in their early stages. More serious problems can also be identified during a comprehensive exam.

It’s important to address dental problems as soon as possible; if left untreated, the problem will get worse. For example, the longer tooth decay goes unchecked, the more damage it can do to a tooth and less of the original tooth that can be saved.

Dental X-Rays

Digital x-rays also use 80-to-90 percent less radiation than traditional film x-rays and they’re environmentally friendly. There’s no paper waste, no lead film inserts and no chemicals.

Sealants
