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?

To keep your teeth and gums in the best possible shape, we recommend visiting our office every six months for dental cleanings and exams. This allows our team to remove bacteria-filled plaque before it can cause any serious problems. It also enables us to find issues like cavities and gum disease in their earliest stages, when they are easiest to treat.

What happens during a dental cleaning and exam?

Your dental hygienist will inspect your teeth and gums for any signs of problems. We may also take a set of X-rays depending on your needs. Then we will clean and polish each of your teeth until they shine. Your dentist will come in later and perform a complete dental exam, paying special attention to any problem areas noted by your hygienist. Finally, we’ll recommend any needed treatments to improve your oral health.
