Regular cleanings and exams are the foundation of a healthy mouth. Every six months our hygienist removes plaque and tartar, polishes your teeth, and screens your gums, and Dr. Tobin examines every tooth, checks for oral cancer, and reviews any x-rays. Most dental problems are painless until they are serious, and a checkup catches them early when treatment is simple.
What happens at a checkup
A professional cleaning, periodontal screening, oral cancer screening, and a thorough exam. Digital x-rays are taken as needed, and our panoramic x-ray (Panorex) gives a full view of your teeth, jaws, and sinuses to detect problems a standard x-ray misses.
We also help you tune up your home routine, with personalized advice on brushing, flossing, and diet.

We welcome patients of all ages, from children to seniors, and many Latrobe families have trusted Dr. Tobin with both parents and children.
