Preventive Dental Care in Clinton, NJ  | Clinton Dental Group

Professional Teeth Cleanings (Prophylaxis)

Healthy gums and the supporting bone around your teeth, called the periodontium, are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Clinton Dental Group in Clinton, New Jersey, we evaluate gum health at every preventive dentistry visit using a periodontal screening to check for inflammation, pocketing, and early signs of gum disease. Based on your findings, we recommend a personalized dental cleaning and maintenance schedule to help protect your teeth and gums long term. During your initial visit, we complete a comprehensive exam, then schedule your professional cleaning based on your needs, often at a follow up appointment.

Your first visit exam includes:

  • Radiographic Exam

  • Oral Cancer Screening

  • Head and Neck Exam

  • Functional Occlusion Exam

  • Soft Tissue Exam

  • Tooth-by-Tooth Exam
