A Clean, Healthy Bright Smile for Improved Oral Health

Dental exams and cleanings generally go hand in hand. The goal for an exam is to check and potentially identify any developing problems that can cause an issue with your oral health. Dental cleanings focus on removing tartar, buildup, plaque, stains and more to help restore the health of your teeth gums alike. Both the dental exams and dental cleaning are advised to happen every 6 months. To make it easier on you, get them done at the same time! Give J. Barry Howell DDS a call today to book an appointment at our local Urbana, IL location.
