Learn moreThe Cleaning
Your hygienist removes plaque and tartar from above and below the gumline, polishes your teeth, and flosses everything thoroughly. If your gums are healthy, this takes about 30 minutes. If you have gum disease, you may need a deeper cleaning instead — see Gum Disease Treatment.
What Oral Cancer Looks Like — and Why It's Often Missed
Oral cancer can show up as a sore that doesn't heal, a lump or thickening in the cheek or neck, a white or red patch, or a persistent sore throat. In its earliest stages, it usually doesn't hurt — which is why so many people don't notice it until it's advanced. A screening at your dental visit is often the first place it gets caught.
How Gum Disease Starts
Gum disease begins as gingivitis — red, swollen gums that bleed when you brush or floss. Left untreated, it progresses to periodontitis, where the gums pull away from the teeth and bone loss begins. Catching it early makes treatment far simpler.
Signs Your Jaw Might Be the Issue
Morning headaches, sore jaw muscles, popping or clicking when you open your mouth, worn-down or chipped front teeth, and unexplained tooth sensitivity are common signs of TMJ issues, clenching, or grinding. Many patients don't connect these symptoms to their teeth — but the fix is often surprisingly simple.
Zoom In-Office Whitening
Zoom is a professional in-office whitening system that lightens your teeth several shades in a single visit. We protect your gums, apply the whitening gel, and use a special light to activate it. The whole appointment takes about 90 minutes, and you'll see results immediately.
