What are dental exams and cleanings?
Why Are Dental Exams And Cleanings Needed?
How Often Should Dental Exams And Cleanings Be Done?
We recommend that patients have both cleanings and exams done every six months. Six month intervals between visits allow us to keep track of your dental health, and monitor any changes that we find. Your exam and cleaning appointment takes just about an hour in our office. We can pre-schedule the appointment to make it even more convenient for you.

What Happens During Dental Exams And Cleanings?
First, our hygienist will take x-rays of your teeth, which will be used as part of the diagnostic process. The hygienist then works to clean the teeth, removing built-up tartar, stains, and other debris. The teeth are flossed and polished to a high shine. Next, the hygienist will check your gums by measuring the depth of the pockets around each tooth.
This helps us determine if you have gingivitis or gum disease, and we can provide treatment options as needed. Dr. Ghosh will then come into the room for an examination, and to check for cavities, problem restorations, oral cancer, and other issues.
If you think you might need an exam and cleaning, or want to learn more about both procedures, call us today and we can further assist you by scheduling an appointment.
