Plaque and Tartar Removal: Despite diligent brushing and flossing, some plaque and tartar buildup is inevitable. Professional dental cleanings help remove these deposits, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease.

Early Detection of Issues: Regular exams allow our experienced dental team to spot any potential problems in their early stages. This means we can address issues like cavities and gum disease before they become more serious and costly to treat.

Oral Cancer Screening: Dental exams include a thorough check for signs of oral cancer. Early detection of oral cancer greatly increases the chances of successful treatment.

Customized Oral Care: Every patient is unique, and regular dental visits allow us to tailor our recommendations and treatments to your specific needs. We can offer advice on oral hygiene, diet, and lifestyle changes that can improve your oral health.

Preservation of Natural Teeth: With regular care, you’re more likely to keep your natural teeth for a lifetime. Preventive measures can help you avoid tooth loss and the need for extensive restorative treatments.

Cost Savings: Preventive care is typically more cost-effective than treating advanced dental issues. By investing in regular cleanings and exams, you can potentially avoid costly procedures down the road.

In general, most individuals should visit their dentist for cleanings and exams every six months. However, some people with specific dental concerns may require more frequent visits. Your dentist at Harmony Dental of Burbank will recommend a schedule that suits your unique needs.

Remember that maintaining your oral health is a partnership between you and your dental care team. By attending regular cleanings and exams and practicing good oral hygiene at home, you can enjoy a lifetime of healthy smiles.
