DENTAL CLEANINGS

Since gum disease in adults is the leading cause of tooth loss, routine cleanings and exams with good patient care in between visits will help prevent any major tooth problems. At Clearwater Family & Sedation Dentistry, our goal is to help our patients feel comfortable at your visit. Our hygienists take the time necessary to educate without making our patients feel bad about their oral health.
