We tailor flossing and brushing tips to your mouth. Ask about electric toothbrush options, fluoride toothpaste, and sensitivity relief.

Gum Health Support
If pockets are present we may plan scaling and root planing, then periodontal maintenance every 3 to 4 months.
Goal is bleeding reduction and stable pocket depthsOral Habits and Diet
We talk about grinding, clenching, sports guards, dry mouth, and sugar frequency. Small habit changes make a big difference over time.
Bruxism and Night Guards
Grinding and clenching can chip teeth, wear enamel, and strain jaw joints. A custom night guard spreads forces to protect your smile and help with morning tension.
- TMJ symptom screening during exam

Do cleanings hurt?
Most cleanings feel comfortable. If spots are tender we can use topical numbing or adjust technique to keep you at ease.

We follow focused, low exposure protocols and only take images when the information will help your care.
What if I have heavy tartar?
We may plan a deep cleaning in sections to remove buildup under the gums and help gums heal.
