We are proud to provide a oral hygiene service to our patients. Although you have braces your teeth can still be cleaned by the oral hygienist. Dr. Ghabrial advice patients to have a professional cleaning at least twice a year. Patients that struggle with oral hygiene will need more regular cleanings. Oral hygiene instructions will be given to help patients.
