How many dental cleanings and exams do I need per year?

We recommend scheduling dental cleanings and exams at least every six months, regardless of the current state of your oral health. Regular visits help prevent plaque buildup, cavities, and gum disease. However, some patients with specific conditions, like gum disease or a history of frequent cavities, may benefit from more frequent visits. Our team can create a personalized schedule based on your individual needs to ensure your smile stays healthy and bright.

Will teeth cleanings make my teeth whiter?

Teeth cleanings remove surface stains caused by plaque, tartar, and common staining agents like coffee or tea, which can make your teeth appear brighter. However, cleanings don’t change the natural color of your teeth. If you’re looking for a whiter smile, our professional teeth whitening treatments are a great complement to routine cleanings. We’d be happy to discuss your options during your next visit!

Do professional teeth cleanings hurt?

Professional teeth cleanings should not be painful, though you may feel some slight discomfort if you have sensitive teeth or significant tartar buildup. Our team prioritizes your comfort and will use gentle techniques to make the experience as easy as possible. If you’re concerned about sensitivity, let us know—we can tailor your cleanings to your needs and offer tips to reduce discomfort.

What do routine dental visits include?

Routine dental visits typically include a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, an exam to check for cavities or gum disease, and oral cancer screenings. X-rays may also be taken to evaluate areas not visible to the naked eye. Dr. Chaney will review your oral health, address any concerns, and offer personalized recommendations for maintaining a healthy smile.

These routine visits are essential for preventing problems and keeping your teeth and gums in great shape. Contact us today to schedule your next one!
