Build a Foundation of Good Oral Health With a Regular Checkup

Regular cleanings and exams are an essential part of keeping your mouth healthy. By seeing our team for biannual checkups – or more, depending on your oral care needs – you can trust that you’ll protect your teeth and gums throughout your life.

Here is what you can expect during your checkup:

  • Comprehensive Exam – Your dental hygienist will begin with a thorough exam of your entire mouth. Using our state-of-the-art digital X-ray technology, we will create detailed images of your oral structure. This process allows our team to detect any hidden issues that might not be visible to the naked eye.
  • Thorough Cleaning – Your hygienist will carefully remove any built-up plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gumline. Our team is trained to be gentle yet thorough, ensuring your comfort throughout the process. We use modern ultrasonic devices that make the cleaning more efficient.
  • Polishing – After removing plaque and tartar, your hygienist will polish your teeth. This step removes minor stains and leaves your teeth feeling smooth and looking shiny. You’ll immediately notice how fresh and clean your mouth feels!
  • Personal Oral Care Tips – Based on what our team spots during your cleaning, we’ll provide tailored advice on how to improve your at-home oral care routine. Whether it’s demonstrating proper brushing techniques or suggesting oral care products, you’ll feel empowered to maintain optimal oral health.
  • Follow-Up Discussion – Dr. Hussain will review the results of your exam and cleaning. She’ll explain any findings in simple, jargon-free terms. If our team has detected any issues, they can show you exactly what we’re seeing using our intraoral camera.
  • Treatment Options – If any dental procedure is recommended, your dentist will outline all your treatment options, including the benefits, potential risks, and costs associated with each. Our practice believes in transparent, pressure-free communication.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams
How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?

For most of our patients, a dental exam and cleaning will take about an hour. We’ll begin by asking you about any problems and possibly taking a set of X-rays. Your dental hygienist will then look over your mouth and perform a thorough teeth cleaning. Finally, your dentist will perform a complete dental exam and make any recommendations needed for a healthy smile.

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.

Are dental cleanings and exams necessary?

According to the American Dental Association, you should brush your teeth at least twice and floss once every day. While this is essential for keeping your mouth clean and healthy, only a professional has the instruments and training to remove plaque buildup from your teeth and spot gum disease in its earliest stage. This is why you should visit your dentist for cleanings about every six months.
