Why does a thorough exam check your gums and bone, not just your teeth? Discover why Dr. Linty's comprehensive evaluation goes essential layers deeper, examining gum health, bone density, and every individual tooth as connected pieces of the same proven, whole-mouth system. This evaluation is also how Dr. Linty determines exactly what type of cleaning you'll be scheduled for next — cleanings aren't one-size-fits-all, which is why we don't book yours at your very first visit. Until we know the health of your gums and bone, we can't customize it correctly. This eye-opening guide reveals why a proven, personalized cleaning plan built around your wellness goals beats a generic cleaning every time.
