Many people take their oral health for granted. They schedule routine checkups or cleanings only when they have extra time on their hands or when they have a problem like a toothache or bleeding gums.

At the office of Claire Cho DDS, Aliso Viejo, California, we recommend scheduling biannual checkups and cleanings to keep your teeth and gums in optimal health. Beautiful smiles are cultivated through regular dental care.
Routine checkups and cleanings are preventive dental care services that can protect and preserve your smile. Here’s what you can expect from each:
Checkups – Routine checkups allow Dr. Claire Cho to monitor your dental health to ensure all is well with your gums and teeth. If something is amiss, we can catch it early during a routine exam so you can get immediate treatment. Treating problems like decay, oral infections, and gum disease early keeps them from escalating into major issues later down the line. We’ll also take x-rays of your teeth to check bone health under the gum line, where bacteria can breed.
Cleanings – Dental cleanings get rid of plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth to avoid problems with cavities. Brushing and flossing alone aren’t enough to eliminate all the plaque from your teeth, especially your back teeth, which can be hard to reach. Dr. Cho uses special dental tools to get your teeth plaque and tartar free. We’ll also eliminate surface stains that can dull your smile and polish your teeth to leave them sparkling clean.
Through consistent oral care, Dr. Cho can:
