It is recommended to have dental exams and cleanings every six months. Regular visits help in early detection of dental issues, maintaining oral health, and keeping your teeth and gums in optimal condition.

During a dental exam, the dentist will thoroughly inspect your teeth, gums, and mouth. This includes checking for signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental issues. Digital X-rays may be taken to provide a comprehensive view of your oral health.

Professional teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t eliminate. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Cleanings also polish your teeth, making them look brighter and feel smoother.

Dental exams and cleanings are generally not painful. You may feel some mild discomfort during the cleaning process, especially if you have sensitive teeth or gums. Our dental team is trained to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure and can provide numbing options if needed.

To prepare for your dental exam and cleaning, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing regularly. Make a list of any dental concerns or issues you’ve noticed and bring it to your appointment. Also, inform your dentist about any changes in your medical history or medications.
