Common Questions About Dental Cleanings & Exams
How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?
You'll typically benefit from a cleaning and exam every six months. This schedule helps us catch small issues early and keep plaque and tartar at bay. Your needs might be different, though. If you have gum disease, frequent cavities, or certain health conditions, Dr. Platt may suggest more frequent visits. These regular checkups help you avoid costly and uncomfortable treatments later.
Why are professional cleanings necessary if I brush and floss every day?
Your daily brushing and flossing are essential, but they're just part of keeping your smile healthy. Even with great home care, plaque can harden into tartar in hard-to-reach areas. Once hardened, you can't remove tartar with a toothbrush. Our professional cleanings remove this buildup before it causes gum disease or decay. We also polish your teeth to help prevent future buildup and check for early warning signs.
What happens during a dental exam?
Your exam is thorough, efficient, and completely tailored to you. Dr. Platt will check your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw for any signs of problems. We take digital X-rays when needed to spot issues below the surface. You'll also receive an oral cancer screening and have plenty of time to ask questions. If we find something that needs attention, we'll explain your options clearly without any pressure.
