Why Are Regular Cleanings and Exams Important?

Professional dental cleanings and exams do more than just make your teeth sparkle. They are a critical part of preventive dentistry because they help to catch problems early and keep your teeth and gums strong. For most adults, we recommend a cleaning and exam every six months, though some patients may benefit from more frequent visits depending on their oral health and risk factors like gum disease.

During your visit, our dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar buildup, polish your teeth, and may apply fluoride for extra protection. Your dentist will also perform a thorough oral exam to check for cavities, gum disease, and other issues before they become more serious.
