At Hammock Bay Dental, we recommend scheduling at least two teeth cleanings per year to ensure your teeth and gums stay in top condition. These checkups are an essential part of preventative dental care, helping to catch issues early and keep your smile healthy.

While daily brushing and flossing are crucial for maintaining oral hygiene, they’re not enough. Regular dental checkups are vital for thorough teeth cleaning and early detection of any dental concerns. During your visit, we’ll perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, which can help prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Additionally, our dental checkups include an examination of your teeth, gums, and jaw, along with dental x-rays when necessary, to identify any potential issues before they become serious problems.
