Are Regular Cleanings and Exams for You?
Bleeding when brushing: Pink in the sink after brushing signals gingivitis requiring professional treatment before it advances.
Morning breath persists: Bad breath despite good hygiene suggests bacterial buildup below the gum line needing professional removal.
Teeth feel fuzzy: A film on teeth persists despite brushing, indicating tartar buildup requiring professional scaling.
Can't remember last visit: If you're unsure when you last saw a dentist, you're definitely due for preventive care.
New insurance activated: Recently obtained dental coverage makes this the perfect time to establish preventive care routine.
Benefits expiring soon: Annual maximums reset shortly, and you want to use coverage you've already paid for.

Dental Cleaning & Exam FAQs
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing miss. This prevents cavities and gum disease, which can lead to tooth loss and serious health problems if untreated. Regular visits allow us to detect issues early when they’re easier and less expensive to treat.
Most cleaning appointments take less than an hour. Factors affecting duration include plaque accumulation, whether you have braces, if you need x-rays, and time spent discussing treatment needs. We schedule appointments with adequate time to provide thorough, unhurried care while respecting your busy schedule.
A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces above the gumline. Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats gum disease by removing buildup below the gumline and smoothing root surfaces. If you have periodontal disease, we’ll recommend the appropriate level of cleaning for your needs.
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during routine cleanings. If you have sensitive teeth or gum inflammation, you might feel some tenderness. Let us know about sensitivity concerns beforehand. We can take extra care in sensitive areas and, if needed, use numbing gel to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
Cleaning removes fresh surface stains that haven’t set in yet, making your smile brighter. However, it doesn’t eliminate deep stains accumulated over time or change your teeth’s natural color. For dramatic whitening results, we offer professional whitening treatments that can lighten your smile several shades.
Your dentist examines teeth, gums, tongue, and oral tissues for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other concerns. Periodic x-rays reveal problems beneath the surface. We’ll discuss findings, answer questions, demonstrate proper home care techniques, and recommend any necessary treatment to maintain your oral health.
Patients with gum disease typically need cleanings every three months to control bacterial buildup and prevent disease progression. This more frequent schedule helps maintain gum health and protects against tooth loss. Once your gum disease is controlled, we may adjust your cleaning frequency based on your progress.
Yes, children benefit from professional cleanings starting when their first teeth appear. Early dental visits establish good oral health habits, allow us to monitor tooth development, and help children become comfortable with dental care. Regular cleanings prevent cavities and set the foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
While we’ll clean your teeth thoroughly regardless, brushing and flossing before your appointment is courteous and allows us to spend more time on professional care rather than removing obvious debris. However, don’t skip your appointment if you haven’t had time to brush. We’re here to help regardless.
If we discover cavities, gum disease, or other issues, we’ll explain our findings clearly and recommend appropriate treatment. We’ll review all costs upfront, discuss your options, and never proceed without your approval. Many issues detected early are simple to treat, so regular exams actually save you time and money long-term.
