Regular dental cleanings and exams are essential for maintaining a healthy mouth and smile. They are among the most crucial preventive treatments offered by our dentist and team. We advise scheduling an appointment for a dental cleaning and exam every six months. These routine visits enable us to keep an eye on your oral health and swiftly address any issues that arise. Based on your specific needs, our dentist might suggest more frequent visits.
During your dental cleaning and exam, we will:
- Thoroughly clean your teeth to eliminate any plaque and tartar (calculus) from the surfaces
- Floss your teeth to remove plaque between your teeth
- Polish your teeth
- Inspect your teeth and mouth for signs of decay, gum disease, or other dental conditions
We might also take dental X-rays to detect cavities and other issues that are not visible to the naked eye.
Besides routine preventive care, we encourage you to reach out to us if you are in pain or experiencing a dental emergency. Our dentist and team are here to assist you.
