What are the benefits of routine dental cleanings and exams?

Routine dental cleanings and exams are essential for keeping your smile healthy. Cleanings remove plaque and tartar that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach, helping to prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. Exams allow us to detect early signs of dental issues before they become more serious or costly to treat. These visits also give us the chance to provide personalized advice for maintaining your oral health at home, keeping your smile strong and bright.

How often should you get a dental cleaning?

For most patients, we recommend scheduling a professional cleaning and exam every six months. These regular visits allow us to monitor your oral health, remove tartar buildup, and address any issues early. However, some patients, such as those with gum disease, a history of frequent cavities, or certain medical conditions, may benefit from more frequent visits. During your appointment, we’ll determine the schedule that’s right for you to keep your teeth and gums in optimal shape.

Will teeth cleanings whiten my teeth?

Dental cleanings can help your teeth look brighter by removing surface stains from coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco. While cleanings improve the overall appearance of your smile, they are not the same as professional whitening treatments, which are designed to lighten the natural color of your teeth. If you’re interested in a whiter smile, we can discuss our safe and effective whitening options during your cleaning appointment.

Are routine dental visits expensive?

Routine dental visits are one of the most cost-effective ways to maintain your oral health. Cleanings and exams help prevent more serious and expensive problems like cavities, gum disease, or tooth loss. Many insurance plans fully or partially cover preventive care, and for patients without insurance, we offer affordable options to help keep preventive treatments accessible. By investing in routine visits, you save money long-term while protecting your smile and avoiding the need for complex treatments later on.
