Dental Cleanings

Regular brushing and flossing are essential for maintaining oral health, but professional dental cleanings are necessary to remove plaque and tartar buildup that at-home care can’t reach. At Griffith Family Dental, we provide thorough cleanings, including plaque removal, polishing, and personalized oral care guidance to keep your smile healthy. If left untreated, plaque hardens into tartar, leading to gum inflammation, tooth sensitivity, and even tooth loss.

For those experiencing sensitivity to hot or cold foods, we offer fluoride treatments and desensitizing agents to strengthen enamel and reduce discomfort caused by root exposure, grinding, acid erosion, or gum recession. Fluoride is also a preventive treatment recommended for children and adults prone to cavities, reinforcing enamel and protecting against decay. We understand that some patients avoid dental visits due to anxiety, cost, or lack of insurance, but regular cleanings are crucial for long-term oral health.
