Dental Teeth Cleaning Services in Lisbon ME

One of the best ways to keep your teeth and gums healthy, strong, and looking their best is to have your teeth cleaned every three to six months depending on your dental needs. Professional teeth cleaning involves the use of instruments specially designed to remove plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth. It also includes a dental exam by one of our dentists to check for any potential underlying issues, such as oral cancer.

A dental cleaning usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. However, if it’s been a while since your last dental visit you might need a more in-depth cleaning, especially if your gums are inflamed or showing signs of gum disease.
