Why Dental Cleanings and Exams Are Important
Even with consistent brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can collect in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Over time, this buildup can contribute to cavities, gum disease, and enamel damage if left untreated.
During your professional cleaning, plaque and tartar are carefully removed, and your teeth are polished to leave them feeling smooth and refreshed. This process helps protect your gums and reduces the risk of future dental issues.
Your dental exam provides a complete overview of your oral health. We assess your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues to identify early signs of decay, gum irritation, oral abnormalities, or functional concerns—often before symptoms develop. These visits also allow time to discuss oral hygiene habits and plan care as needed.
Appointments typically last between 45 and 60 minutes and are commonly recommended every six months. Patients with specific dental concerns or higher risk factors may benefit from more frequent visits.
Stay Ahead of Dental Problems With Preventive Care
Regular cleanings and exams help you stay ahead of dental problems rather than reacting to them later. Preventive care allows us to:
- Help Prevent Tooth Decay: Remove plaque and tartar that daily brushing and flossing cannot fully eliminate.
- Monitor Gum Health: Track gum condition, inflammation, and early signs of periodontal disease.
- Preserve Dental Work: Support the longevity of fillings, crowns, and other restorations.
- Identify Concerns Early: Detect potential issues through detailed exams and digital imaging before they become more complex.
- Improve At-Home Oral Care: Offer personalized guidance to enhance brushing, flossing, and daily habits.
Maintaining a regular preventive schedule helps reduce the risk of dental emergencies and supports long-term oral health.
