Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

How often should I schedule dental cleanings and exams?

You should visit us every six months for routine cleanings and exams. This regular schedule helps us catch small issues before they become painful problems. You might need more frequent visits if you have gum disease, a history of cavities, or certain health conditions. Your dentist will recommend the right schedule based on your unique oral health needs.

What happens during a dental cleaning and exam?

Your visit begins with a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas. We'll take digital X-rays when needed and use our VELscope technology for oral cancer screening. You'll benefit from our intraoral camera that shows you exactly what we see during your exam. Your dentist will check for cavities, gum disease, and other concerns while explaining everything in simple terms.

Will my dental cleaning hurt or cause sensitivity?

Your comfort is our priority during every cleaning and exam. Most patients experience little to no discomfort during routine cleanings. You might feel mild sensitivity if you have gum inflammation or it's been a while since your last cleaning. We offer gentle techniques and can provide numbing options if you have sensitive teeth or gums. Your feedback during treatment helps us adjust our approach for your maximum comfort.
