October is National Dental Hygiene Month, a time to emphasize and celebrate your clean, healthy smile!
Of course, October is also Halloween, when many of us indulge in sweets. Oral Hygiene Month reminds us to enjoy the holiday, but don’t forget to brush and floss!

About Professional Teeth Cleanings in Elk Grove, CA
The best oral hygiene includes regular dental cleanings and a solid at-home regimen.
During teeth cleaning, your hygienist rids your teeth and gums of harmful plaque, tartar, and other debris. These ingredients lead to bad breath, cavities, and even gum disease.
Your hygienist uses special instruments to reach tight spaces and between teeth for the best results. Your toothbrush and dental floss alone cannot clean these spaces effectively, and tartar requires specific instruments for eradication.
Your teeth cleaning is always a relaxing experience. Your hygienist is gentle and always ready to answer your questions. Whether it’s tips for at-home care or nutritional advice, your hygienist is always happy to help.
