Your mouth should be important to you and taking regular care of your teeth and gums is vital for that. Although a proper at-home regimen is a necessity to maintain healthy teeth and gums, there’s only so much that a toothbrush and floss can accomplish. To reach and clean areas a toothbrush can’t, professional dental cleaning is needed at least once or twice a year depending upon your oral health conditions.
As a Scottsdale dentist, Dr. Gore’s office offers teeth cleaning services. Dr. Gore performs this routine preventative dental care procedure for patients of all ages. The goal is to help patients maintain their teeth and gums for a beautiful GOREgeous Smile and superior oral health for a lifetime.
So take back your mouth, work on your hygiene and schedule an important today not only for you but to thank your hygienist on this very important month. To learn more about Dr. Gore or to take a visit to our office, please contact us today!
