What Happens During a Dental Exam?
A dental exam focuses on assessing the health of your teeth, gums and supporting structures. Your dentist will gently examine your mouth for signs of decay, gum inflammation, wear, cracks or other concerns. Imaging may be recommended to provide a clearer picture of areas not visible during a visual exam.
Dental exams are also an opportunity for conversation. If you have sensitivity, discomfort or cosmetic concerns, this is the time to discuss them. Our goal is to make sure you feel informed and confident about your oral health.
How often Do You need Dental Exams and Cleanings?
Most patients benefit from routine dental exams and regular cleanings. However, the right frequency depends on your oral health, medical history, and risk factors
- Have a history of gum disease.
- Are prone to cavities.
- Are managing certain medical conditions.
- Have ongoing dental concerns.
Your dentist will recommend a schedule that supports your long-term oral health rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
Teeth Cleaning Costs: What to Expect
Teeth cleaning costs are among the most common questions we hear. While exact pricing varies, we believe in being upfront and clear about what influences the cost of dental exams and cleanings.
Factors that can affect dental cleaning cost include:
- Whether the visit is a routine cleaning or a deep teeth cleaning.
- Your oral health status and treatment needs.
- Insurance coverage and benefits.
- The type of exam or imaging recommended.
For many patients, routine dental exams and cleanings are covered in part or in full by dental insurance. Our team is happy to review your benefits and provide a clear estimate before treatment. If you are paying out of pocket, we will discuss options so you can make an informed decision without surprises.
Tips to Maintain Your Oral Health
- Brush twice a day with a soft-bristled toothbrush (to avoid gum damage) and a fluoride toothpaste.
- Floss daily and be sure to get those hard-to-reach areas between your teeth where plaque is likely to accumulate.
- Try and limit your sugary and acidic food and drink intake since it can contribute to tooth decay and erosion.
- Use a mouthwash to kill bacteria that cause bad breath and gum disease.
- Quit smoking and excessive alcohol consumption as they can significantly damage your teeth and gums.
