How Often Do You Need to Schedule Your Dental Exams and Cleanings?

What Happens During Your Dental Exam?

Each dental visit is a unique experience tailored to your needs. We typically start by taking digital X-rays to uncover hidden problems between your teeth and under your gums. We also perform a visual examination to evaluate the health of your teeth, gums, and dental work. An oral cancer screening helps rule out any abnormalities.

After your exam, we will discuss any findings and work with you to create a personalized treatment plan outlining any needed restorative procedures or preventive care to maintain optimal oral health. We may also recommend cosmetic dentistry treatments to enhance your smile's health and natural beauty.

How About Your Dental Cleaning?

Regular, twice-yearly dental cleanings are designed for patients with healthy gums. Our dentist or dental hygienist will use our ultrasonic scaler to gently remove plaque and tartar buildup on and between your teeth and along your gum line, lowering the risk of dental disease. We will also floss and polish your teeth, leaving them clean and bright.

After your dental cleaning, we typically recommend fluoride treatment to fortify your teeth and prevent cavities. Fluoride can also help reverse early decay by remineralizing your tooth enamel.

What Are the Benefits of Dental Exams and Cleanings?

Routine dental exams and cleanings offer many benefits, including the following:

Prevention: Keeping up with your routine dental exams and cleanings can significantly lower the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath.
