How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends that individuals should have a dental cleaning and exam at least once every six months. However, the frequency may vary based on an individual's oral health needs. Some people, especially those with certain medical conditions, may require more frequent visits as determined by their dentist.

What does a dental cleaning involve, and is it painful?

A dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, involves the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from the teeth. Dental hygienists typically use specialized instruments and may perform scaling and polishing. The process is not generally painful, but individuals with sensitive teeth may experience mild discomfort. The dentist or hygienist will ensure that the patient is comfortable throughout the
procedure.

Why do I need X-rays during a dental exam?

X-rays are an essential part of a dental exam as they provide a comprehensive view of the teeth and surrounding structures that may not be visible during a visual examination. X-rays help detect issues such as cavities, impacted teeth, and bone loss. Dentists use them to create a complete picture of oral health and to develop an effective treatment plan.

What happens during a dental exam?

A dental exam involves a thorough assessment of your oral health. The dentist will visually inspect your teeth, gums, and other oral tissues. They may use instruments to check for signs of cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer. X-rays may be taken to get a detailed view of the teeth and supporting structures. The dentist will discuss their findings, address any concerns, and provide recommendations for treatment or preventive care.
