Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a dental cleaning and a dental exam?
A dental cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and stains to keep your teeth healthy and polished, while a dental exam focuses on assessing your overall oral health, checking for cavities, gum disease, and other potential issues.
How often should I schedule dental cleanings to maintain healthy teeth?
We recommend scheduling a professional dental cleaning every six months. Regular cleanings prevent plaque buildup, lower your risk of cavities, and keep your gums healthy.
What happens during a preventive dental exam?
During a dental exam, we evaluate your teeth, gums, and jaw for signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns. We may also take X-rays to catch issues early and perform an oral cancer screening to prioritize your health.
Can professional cleanings help prevent gum disease and cavities?
Yes! Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to gum disease and cavities. They also polish your teeth, making it harder for bacteria to stick.
What should I expect during my first dental cleaning appointment?
Your first cleaning will include removing plaque and tartar, polishing your teeth, and discussing personalized oral care tips. Our gentle approach ensures your comfort throughout the visit.
Are dental exams necessary if I’m not experiencing any pain?
Absolutely. Dental exams are crucial for detecting problems early, even if you’re not in pain. Regular exams help prevent minor issues from becoming major concerns.
What preventive care tips can I follow at home between dental visits?
Brush twice a day, floss daily, and use fluoride toothpaste. Maintain a healthy diet, avoid sugary snacks, and stay hydrated to support your oral health between visits.
