Teeth Cleaning
Teeth cleaning isn't just about removing plaque — it can also shield you from tooth and gum problems later down the line.
In fact, visiting our practice for a twice-yearly cleaning can prevent gum disease, cavities, and even tooth loss.
Protect your oral health by visiting Drs. Mike Meek and David J. Tasch in Austin, TX, for a thorough exam and dental cleaning.

What Purposes Does Teeth Cleaning Serve?
Dental cleanings offer crucial care for your oral health, like:
Removing Plaque and Tartar
Even with consistent brushing and flossing, your teeth may accumulate plaque and tartar. Over time, plaque and tartar can irritate your gum line and cause gum disease, with symptoms like irritated gums and gum pockets. Our team can thoroughly remove this buildup to protect your health.
Checking for Oral Conditions
Going to the dentist allows us to detect cavities, cracks, and infections in their earliest stages. We'll screen for oral cancers during your appointment as well. Finally, our team uses high-tech digital scanners to ensure that your teeth, gums, and jaw are all healthy.
Preventing Long-Term Problems
We check each individual tooth to ensure that your mouth is as healthy as possible. If we notice any concerns, then we will form a treatment plan to prevent long-term troubles. For example, special deep cleaning can prevent gingivitis from advancing to gum disease.
Need Deeper Cleaning? We Can Help
For some patients, a routine cleaning won't be able to address all their dental needs. No need to stress, though — if you've come to our office, you're at the right place. Our Austin, TX, dentists offer scaling and root planing to fully remove plaque at and below your gum line.

I was recommended this office by a coworker. I was so nervous because I don’t like the dentist and I had not had a cleaning in a while. From the front office staff to the hygienists to my dentist I felt a very warm welcome! Regina gave me the best cleaning I’ve ever had! The whole experience was pain free and all of my questions were answered. If you have dentist anxiety this is the place for you, trust me! :)

How Can I Make My Next Cleaning As Easy as Possible?
Austin, TX, patients can do their part to ensure that they have straightforward dental cleanings. We advise that you:
Brush Daily
By brushing twice a day, you can keep your teeth healthy and cavity-free. You should brush for two minutes each time using a soft-bristled brush, covering your teeth, gums, and tongue.
Floss Regularly
Even if you don't currently floss your teeth regularly, it's never too late to get into the habit. Flossing once a day removes pesky plaque and tartar around your teeth and gums, preventing gingivitis and gum disease.
