How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

Most patients should visit the dentist every six months for a professional cleaning and exam. These regular visits help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues by catching problems early. If you have a history of dental concerns, your dentist may recommend more frequent appointments to ensure your teeth and gums stay in the best shape possible.

What happens during a routine dental checkup?

During a checkup, your hygienist will clean your teeth by removing plaque, tartar, and surface stains, leaving your smile fresh and polished. Your dentist will then examine your teeth, gums, and overall oral health, checking for signs of decay, gum disease, or other issues that may need attention. If necessary, digital X-rays may be taken to detect hidden concerns, and preventive treatments like fluoride or sealants may be recommended to provide extra protection.

Why do I need X-rays during my exam?

X-rays help your dentist detect problems that may not be visible during a regular exam, such as cavities between teeth, bone loss, or infections beneath the gumline. Digital X-rays are safe, using minimal radiation, and are only taken when necessary to monitor your oral health. By catching potential issues early, X-rays allow for more effective and less invasive treatment options.
