At Gallant Fox Dental, we believe prevention is essential for your oral health. Routine dental exams allow us to detect problems early and provide the necessary treatment. If left untreated, small dental problems can worsen overtime and lead to more extensive and expensive treatment. Brushing and flossing are important in maintaining oral health, but not all plaque and tartar can be removed at home. In routine dental cleanings, we use specialized tools to clean hard to reach places and remove what you can’t. Generally, dental cleaning is recommended at least every six months to lessen your risk of gum disease.
