Benefits of
Regular Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings offer numerous advantages beyond what daily brushing and flossing can achieve. Our hygienists use specialized instruments to remove hardened tartar that cannot be eliminated at home. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease, reduce the risk of tooth decay, and maintain fresh breath. Additionally, cleanings allow for the early detection of potential oral health issues.

What to Expect During
Your Cleaning Appointment
During your dental cleaning at our Santa Fe office, our hygienist will carefully examine your teeth and gums before beginning the cleaning process. Using ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments, we remove plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces and below the gum line. The cleaning concludes with polishing to remove surface stains and a fluoride treatment to strengthen tooth enamel. Dr. Esmael Valdez will then perform a comprehensive examination to assess your oral health.
Maintain optimal oral health with regular professional cleanings from our experienced team. Schedule your dental cleaning appointment today by calling 505-471-7000 for more information.
