The Importance of Regular Dental Exams & Teeth Cleanings
Foundation of Good Oral Health
Regular dental cleanings and exams are the cornerstone of proper dental care. The American Dental Association recommends that most patients receive professional cleanings at least twice a year. These routine cleanings help prevent plaque and tartar buildup, which, if left untreated, can lead to tooth decay, gum disease, and eventually tooth loss.
Early Detection Saves Natural Teeth
One key benefit of regular dental checkups is the early detection of potential oral health problems. Our comprehensive dental exams can identify issues like cavities, gum disease, and even oral cancer in their earliest stages, when most treatable. This proactive approach helps preserve your natural, healthy teeth, and avoid more complex dental issues.
Supporting Your Overall Health
Research continues to show a strong connection between oral health and overall physical health. Poor dental and oral hygiene also has been linked to serious health conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Maintaining a healthy smile through regular dental exams and professional dental cleaning supports your whole-body wellness.
Types of Dental Cleanings We Offer
Regular Prophylactic Cleaning
For patients with generally healthy teeth and gums, our standard cleaning removes plaque, tartar, and stains from all tooth surfaces. This is the most common type of cleaning for patients who maintain regular appointments.
Deep Cleaning (Scaling and Root Planing)
We offer deep cleaning for patients showing signs of early gum disease, including inflamed gums or deeper pockets between teeth and gums. This more intensive procedure removes bacteria beneath the gum line and smooths root surfaces to promote healing and prevent further progression of gum disease.
Periodontal Maintenance
Following treatment for gum disease, periodontal maintenance cleanings help maintain gum health and prevent recurrence. These regular cleanings are typically scheduled more frequently than standard cleanings.
Polish and Fluoride Treatments
Polishing treatments enhance the appearance of your smile as stand-alone services or additions to regular cleanings, while fluoride applications strengthen tooth enamel against decay.
What to Expect During Your Dental Exam & Cleaning
Comprehensive Dental Examination

Health History Review
Each visit begins with a review of your health history, including any medication changes or new health concerns. This information helps us provide personalized care tailored to your unique needs.
Thorough Oral Examination
Our dental team will thoroughly examine your teeth, teeth and gums,, and soft tissues. We check for:
Signs of tooth decay
Changes in gum tissue
Proper bite alignment
Existing dental work integrity
Signs of teeth grinding or jaw issues
Advanced Oral Cancer Screening
Early detection of oral cancer can be lifesaving. Our dental exams include a thorough screening that examines the tongue, throat, cheeks, and other oral tissues for suspicious changes or abnormalities.
Digital X-Rays (When Necessary)
Periodic dental X-rays help us see what’s happening beneath the surface, allowing us to catch dental problems that might not be visible during a visual examination alone.

Professional Teeth Cleaning Process
Removal of Plaque and Tartar
Our qualified dental hygienist will carefully remove plaque and tartar (calcified plaque) from above and below the gum line. While regular brushing and flossing can remove some plaque, only professional tools can remove tartar buildup.
Expert Dental Scaling
Dental scaling is a precise dental cleaning technique that removes hardened deposits from tooth enamel. It is especially important for preventing gum disease and keeping gums healthy.
Professional Polishing
After removing plaque and tartar, we’ll polish your teeth to remove surface stains and create a smoother surface that resists new plaque formation. This helps maintain a brighter smile between visits.

Personalized Fluoride Treatment
Depending on your needs, we may recommend a fluoride treatment to strengthen your tooth enamel and provide additional protection against tooth decay. The fluoride gel or foam is applied briefly to your teeth, fortifying them against future damage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Exams & Teeth Cleanings
How often should I schedule a dental cleaning appointment?
For most patients, we recommend professional teeth cleaning every six months. However, some individuals with gum disease, rapid tartar buildup, or other oral health challenges may benefit from more frequent regular dental cleanings only, such as every three to four months. Your dentist will recommend a schedule based on your specific needs.
What's the difference between regular brushing and professional teeth cleaning?
While daily brushing and flossing are essential for removing plaque, only some professional dental cleaning tools can remove hardened tartar (calculus) that forms despite good home care. Professional cleanings also reach areas that are difficult to clean at home and include expert assessment of your overall oral health.
Is teeth cleaning safe during pregnancy?
Yes, professional teeth cleaning is not only safe but recommended during pregnancy. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can increase the risk of gum disease, making professional dental cleanings particularly important. Let us know if you’re pregnant so we can take any necessary precautions.
How long does a dental cleaning take?
Routine dental cleaning typically takes 45-60 minutes. However, if this is your first visit or you need a more extensive cleaning, it may take longer. Comprehensive exams with X-rays will also add to the appointment time.
Why do my gums bleed during cleaning?
Bleeding gums often indicate inflammation caused by plaque buildup along the gum line, a sign of early gum disease. Regular professional cleanings can help resolve this issue by removing the irritants causing the inflammation. As gum health improves with regular care, bleeding gum disease typically diminishes.
