What Happens During a Teeth Cleaning and an Oral Exam?

During a teeth cleaning, our skilled dental hygienist will gently remove tartar plaque from your teeth. This process is called scaling and helps prevent gum disease and tooth decay. Afterward, they polish your teeth to remove surface stains, leaving you with a fresh, clean feeling.

Oral exams allow our dentist to assess your overall oral health. They will check for cavities, symptoms of gum disease, and any other potential issues. If necessary, they may also conduct an oral cancer screening to ensure early detection. Regular oral exams help us catch and treat problems before they become more serious.

How Often Should I See a Dentist?

For most patients, we recommend visiting our office every six months for a routine cleaning and oral exam. However, our dentist may recommend more frequent visits if you have specific oral health concerns or conditions. We will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan based on your needs.

Benefits of Regular Teeth Cleanings

  • Reduced chances of contracting gum disease and tooth decay
  • Early detection of oral health issues
