What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning and Exam

A dental cleaning and exam involves a thorough assessment of your oral health and professional cleaning of your teeth. Here is what you can expect:

• Professional Cleaning: A dental hygienist will remove plaque, tartar and surface stains from your teeth. Even with good at-home brushing and flossing, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas and eventually harden into tartar. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease and tooth decay by removing this buildup.
• Gum Health Evaluation: Your gums will be carefully examined for signs of gingivitis or periodontal disease. Healthy gums are essential for overall dental health.
• Thorough Examination: Our dentist and team will perform a detailed examination of your teeth, gums and mouth. This includes checking for cavities, signs of tooth decay and oral cancer screenings to ensure early detection of any issues.
• X-Rays (if needed): X-rays may be taken periodically to help identify problems that may not be visible during a regular exam, such as hidden decay, bone loss or impacted teeth.

Regular cleanings and exams in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, not only help prevent dental problems but also ensure that any issues are caught early, allowing for less invasive and more cost-effective treatments.
