Dental Cleanings

A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling and polishing.

Scaling is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.

"My experience with Ponder Memory has been nothing but STELLAR! I really appreciate the kindness, support and most of all the time taken with me. To Dr. Ponder, Elizabeth, and Lacy, you all made me so comfortable when truly I was a nervous wreck. I would like to think that I was a special patient but I see that you give all of your patients the same kindness and care. The care you and your staff provided me is very often unheard of and I want to send a big thank you and let you know how grateful I am that God placed you all in my path. Thank you so much! For those reading my post, please know that I highly recommend PONDER MEMORY FAMILY DENTAL. They are the Truth!"
