Our Expert Care Helps You Feel Good About Your Smile

Just about everyone thinks about maintaining a beautiful smile. In fact, an overwhelming number of Americans (99.7 percent) agree that a smile is an important social asset. It’s hard to overstate how much our smiles can impact our lives, either positively or negatively.

As one of our premier general dental services, cleanings and exams play a big role in the appearance of your smile. The American Dental Association recommends that you visit the dentist every six months for a checkup so your smile can stay in good shape.

The exam part of your checkup allows our dentist to evaluate your overall oral health. It will involve a comprehensive check of your teeth, gums, and mouth:

  • We’ll check for any signs of tooth decay, gum disease, or other oral issues.
  • Digital and panoramic X-rays may be taken to identify hidden problems.
  • We’ll use an intraoral camera for a closeup look at every corner of your mouth.
  • If we find any problems, we may recommend fluoride treatment or dental sealants.

During your dental cleaning, our hygienist will carefully remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. This process helps prevent gum disease and cavities. Your teeth will then be polished, leaving them smooth and shiny. Additionally, our hygienist will provide valuable tips and techniques for effective at-home oral hygiene.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?

Most of the time, a regular dental cleaning and exam will take about an hour. During this time, our team will take a set of X-rays if needed, thoroughly clean and polish all your teeth, and perform a complete dental exam. If you need additional work, such as a tooth filling or fluoride treatment, we’ll let you know and advise you of the extra time required.

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.

Do dental cleanings hurt?

In the skilled hands of hygienists and dentists at Taylor Dentistry, a cleaning shouldn’t hurt. Cleanings may be a bit uncomfortable if you haven’t had one in a while. That’s because we may have to apply more pressure than usual to remove the tartar buildup that has formed. We can use local anesthesia to make you more comfortable, and dental sedation is also available.
