Daily brushing and flossing are vital, but they can’t fully eliminate the bacteria and buildup that lead to tooth decay and gum disease. During a professional cleaning, remove plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas, ensuring a truly clean mouth.

Your dentist will also conduct a comprehensive examination to:

• Check for tooth decay, gum disease, or infection

• Ensure all existing dental work (fillings, crowns, etc.) remains intact

• Perform an oral cancer screening to detect any abnormalities early

These preventive visits are a key part of maintaining not just your oral health, but your overall well-being.

Every patient’s needs are unique, but a typical exam and cleaning visit includes:

• Thorough cleaning and polishing of your teeth by a dental hygienist

• Comprehensive dental exam by both hygienist and dentist

• Oral cancer screening for early detection and prevention

• Gum health check, including measuring pocket depth around your teeth

• Digital X-rays (if necessary) to identify hidden dental concerns

Once your cleaning and exam are complete, your dentist will review the results and discuss any recommended treatments or follow-up appointments.
