Dental Checkups and Cleanings

Why Are Checkups and Cleanings So Important?

Even if you’re diligent with your at-home oral hygiene, regular checkups and cleanings at our Garland office are still crucial. Here’s why:

• Early Detection: During your checkup, Dr. Dooley will carefully examine your teeth, gums, and jaw for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other potential concerns. Finding these things early means easier treatment!
• Professional Cleaning: Let’s face it, no matter how well you brush and floss at home, there are always those tricky spots. Our skilled hygienists will remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, helping prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
• Personalized Guidance: Dr. Dooley will take the time to chat with you about your oral health, answer any questions, and provide advice on how to improve your at-home care routine.
