Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams
How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?
The time needed for these services will vary depending on several factors, including whether we've seen you before and what shape your smile is in. Typically, though, it won't require more than an hour. It will be time well spent, as your teeth will look and feel great!
How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?
In general, we recommend that a patient come in every six months for a dental exam and cleaning. Routine checkups allow us the chance to keep an eye on your oral health and provide early treatment for any problems we spot. You may need to visit us more often if you're susceptible to gum disease.
What happens during a dental cleaning and exam?
Both your dental hygienist and your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and entire mouth to look for signs of any problems. We may also take digital X-rays and images inside your mouth with an intraoral camera. Then your hygienist will thoroughly clean your teeth, paying special attention to areas you might miss at home. We'll recommend any services needed to keep your mouth healthy.
