Teeth Cleaning

Even with good oral care, plaque and tartar can build up upon your teeth and gums, causing cavities, infected root canals, and gum disease.  Dr. Michael Haight, the caring dentist at Parkway Dental, can prevent those problems during teeth cleanings with Guided Biofilm Therapy® . If you're ready for a clean, healthy smile, visit our friendly family dentistry practice, located in Albuquerque, NM.

Wondering How Often You Should Visit Our Dentist?

Patients should receive at least two dental cleanings a year.
Biannual teeth cleanings give our dentist the opportunity to remove plaque and tartar, as well as assess your overall oral health. We use Guided Biofilm Therapy, a state-of-the-art technique that improves the effectiveness of this necessary treatment. Some patients may need to visit our Albuquerque, NM, dental office more frequently if they have a family history of tooth decay or if they have gum disease.

A Dentist Albuquerque Trusts

"I would recommend Dr. Haight in a heartbeat. No question, he's one of the best dentist I've run into from the East Coast all the way to Alaska. And I would fly anywhere to come and visit him, instead of letting another practitioner take care of me." Benton, a Real Parkway Dental Patient

Sedation Options Are Available

/

Dental cleanings aren't especially uncomfortable, but we understand that some patients need a little extra help feeling comfortable. This is why we offer multiple kinds of dental sedation, including nitrous oxide and oral conscious sedation.

We Use Advanced Digital X-Rays During Dental Visits

How do we know your teeth are truly clean and healthy? Simple: our dentist invests in advanced technology like digital X-rays.

They're safe and radiation-free, giving you peace of mind about your health. They also allow for more precise examinations so that Dr. Haight can accurately examine the health of your teeth.

For instance, digital X-rays can make it easier for him to detect small cavities before they become serious issues. This can result in quicker, easier, and more affordable treatment.

Examination

Our dentist believes in doing his due diligence, so he will thoroughly examine your mouth for cavities at the end of your cleaning as well. This also lets him double-check that each tooth is clean.
