Dental Exams and Cleanings

How Often Do I Need an Exam and Cleaning?

Everyone’s different, but we recommend most patients get a cleaning and exam every six months. Regular visits allow your dentist the opportunity to monitor changes in your teeth and gums, aiding in the early detection and treatment of decay and disease. If it’s been a while since your last visit to the dentist, don’t worry! Read about what you can expect as a new patient at The Winning Smile Dental Group.

No matter when you last visited the dentist, The Winning Smile Dental Group will always go the extra mile for your smile. Our friendly and caring staff has one goal in mind: helping you make a difference with your smile!

Questions About Dental Exams? We Can Help! What is the cost of a tooth cleaning?

We Can Help! What is the cost of a tooth cleaning?
Most dental insurances cover 100% of routine preventive and diagnostic care, including cleaning and exams. For those without insurance, contact us to understand the cost of a cleaning and exam. We offer financing options to make affording your care possible.
 
Your routine dental cleaning should not cause you pain. However, if your gums are inflamed, you’re dealing with tooth decay, or you have a lot of tartar and plaque buildup, you might have some sensitivity during the cleaning process. Our hygienists are known for having a gentle touch. We’ll make sure you’re feeling comfortable throughout your appointment.
 
Brushing your teeth at least twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and flossing daily are the best ways to remove plaque and prevent tartar from forming on your teeth. However, if you’re dealing with tartar buildup, a professional cleaning is the best way to ensure all bad bacteria are removed from your teeth and gums.
 
A dental cleaning can certainly help your teeth look brighter and shinier. However, if you’re suffering from severely stained teeth, you would benefit more from a professional teeth whitening treatment.
 
 
Plaque buildup contains a lot of smelly bacteria and is one of the leading causes of bad breath. So yes, a teeth cleaning is often a great way to help get bad breath under control!
 
Plan to be at our office for about an hour for your routine teeth cleaning. However, your first appointment might take as long as 90 minutes. Ask our front desk team for more information when you schedule your visit.
 
 
We like to see kids before their first birthday (around the time they start teething). By helping kids have a positive experience at the dentist from a very young age, we can help them develop great lifelong dental health habits.
