Common Questions About Dental Cleanings & Exams

How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

In general, we recommend that a patient come in every six months for a dental exam and cleaning. Routine checkups allow us the chance to keep an eye on your oral health and provide early treatment for any problems we spot. You may need to visit us more often if you’re susceptible to gum disease.

What happens during a dental cleaning and exam?

Dental checkups typically involve a thorough cleaning, comprehensive exam, and dental X-rays to look for signs of problems like tooth decay or gum disease. You’ll also get an oral cancer screening and time with your dentist to talk about current or potential oral health issues that need to be addressed.

Will I get an oral cancer screening during dental checkups?

Yes, at your routine visits, we’ll check for cavities, gum disease, oral cancer, and other problems. Your dentist at Charlotte Dentistry recommends that you visit us at least twice a year for a dental exam and cleaning. Regular checkups allow us to keep an eye on your oral health and recommend any care needed to keep your smile in good shape.

Why should I get a dental exam if I’m not in pain?

If you wait until you are in pain, you already have a serious problem. On top of that, not all dental problems cause pain. By getting regular exams, you get the benefit of having dental professionals look at your mouth. We can identify potential problems or catch them in the early stages. That allows us to fix them before you may need expensive and invasive treatments.
