The Importance of Regular Dental Check-Ups

Regular check-ups help keep your teeth clean, prevent major dental problems, and allow us to tailor a personalized treatment plan to maintain your oral health.

During your visit, our team will evaluate your oral health, screen for gum disease, cavities, and other common dental concerns, and check the overall condition of your teeth and gums. Dental check-ups are designed to catch potential issues early, even before you may notice any symptoms.

How Often Should You Have Your Teeth Cleaned?

For most people, having a dental cleaning every 6 months is recommended. This allows our team to remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach, particularly in hard-to-clean areas.

While some people may need cleanings more frequently, especially those with gum disease or other health conditions, the general guideline is twice a year. Our team will advise you on the best schedule for your needs.

What Happens During Your Cleaning?

A professional cleaning is more thorough than your regular at-home routine. Our hygienists use tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth and gums.

We also carefully clean the spaces between your teeth and along your gum line to remove debris that your toothbrush may miss. Finally, we polish your teeth, leaving your smile looking and feeling fresh.

Dental Exams: The Key to Preventing Problems

Regular dental exams allow us to catch issues before they become bigger problems. Here’s what we can check for during your visit:

Cavity checks: We thoroughly inspect your teeth for cavities and decay
Gum health evaluation: Our team looks for signs of gum disease, including tenderness, swelling, or bleeding
Oral cancer screening: We carefully check your mouth for any signs of oral cancer
Examine previous work: If you’ve had fillings, crowns, or implants, we’ll assess their condition to check that they’re still functioning properly
Soft tissue health: Gum disease can lead to tooth loss if left untreated, so we evaluate the health of your gums and soft tissue

Preventing Dental Issues Before They Start

The goal of regular dental check-ups and cleanings is not just to address existing issues but to prevent new ones from developing. With every exam and cleaning, we work with you to create a plan for your long-term oral health.
