Routine dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining optimal oral health and preventing dental problems. During these appointments, your dentist can detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental issues that may not be noticeable to the untrained eye. Additionally, professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if left untreated. By prioritizing routine dental exams and cleanings, you can preserve the health of your teeth and gums, prevent costly dental procedures, and enjoy a confident, healthy smile for years to come.

Your smile needs to stay healthy, and that begins with regular checkups. We provide complete exams to our patients and suggest making an appointment for cleaning every six months. Regular checkups allow our staff to examine and determine the best solutions for optimizing your dental health.

During your first visit, we review your medical history and provide a thorough comprehensive exam. At that visit, we also determine what treatment is most beneficial to maintain healthy gums. For many patients, this is a routine dental cleaning, which our expert dental hygiene staff does at that same visit.

We want you to feel comfortable during your first exam, and every appointment after that. Our staff is ready and happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have during your routine cleanings.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I GET MY TEETH CLEANED?

For optimal oral health, it’s generally recommended to visit your dentist for a teeth cleaning and exam every six months. However, the frequency may vary depending on individual factors such as oral hygiene habits, dental history, and overall health. Your dentist will assess your specific needs and recommend a personalized schedule to ensure timely detection and treatment of any dental issues, promoting a healthy smile for life. Regular dental visits not only help prevent tooth decay and gum disease but also enable early intervention for any emerging problems, leading to better long-term dental outcomes.
