During your general dental appointments, we are screening for:
- Cavities - Tooth decay is typically treatable with fillings. However, you may need a crown to fix large cavities.
- Gum Disease - Periodontal problems can lead to lost teeth and increase your risk of other general health problems. Treating gum infection is easier when you find it early.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams
Do dental cleanings hurt?
It is important to address any plaque and tartar buildup often if you expect to keep disease and decay away. We suggest every six months for preventive visits. That way we will be able to evaluate your overall oral health and discuss any developments that may need attention.
Why should I get a dental exam if Iām not in pain?
Dental cleanings involve the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth using specialized tools. You may experience slight pressure or vibrations during the cleaning, but it should not be painful. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, your dental hygienist can adjust the cleaning technique to ensure your comfort. Regular dental cleanings are important for maintaining oral health and preventing more serious issues, so it is recommended to attend them regularly.
How soon after my cleaning can I eat?
Luckily, there's no reason to wait to eat after your cleaning. However, your teeth and gums may be a little sensitive. So, you may want to avoid extremely hot, cold, or acidic food and beverages for a few hours. Be sure to ask your dentist if you have any concerns about what you can eat or drink after your appointment.
