Taking good care of your teeth and gums by scheduling regular dental checkups and cleanings is an important part in the overall health of your body. Professional cleanings are the only way to remove harmful tartar that traps plaque (bacteria) below the gum line. Our hygienists will educate you about periodontal disease, links with the mouth and cardiovascular disease and diabetes, as well as tooth decay. Dr. Bauer will do a thorough exam for each patient and a treatment plan to address any dental needs. We will then assist you in meeting your goals for a healthy mouth and beautiful smile.
