Regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining healthy teeth and gums. At Delano Dental, we focus on providing thorough, comfortable care while keeping patients informed every step of the way. If you’re wondering what happens during a dental cleaning, here’s what you can expect.
Initial Exam and Health Review
Your appointment begins with a review of your medical and dental history, followed by an oral examination to check for cavities, gum disease, and other concerns. Digital X-rays may be taken if needed to support accurate diagnosis.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
A dental professional will remove plaque and tartar buildup, especially around the gumline, then polish your teeth to remove surface stains. Flossing completes the cleaning and allows us to assess gum health.
Dentist Evaluation
After the cleaning, the dentist will review your oral health, discuss findings, and recommend any necessary treatments. Our team prioritizes clear communication so you understand your options.
Personalized Home Care Guidance
Before you leave, we provide tailored recommendations to help you maintain your oral health between visits.
How Often Are Dental Cleanings Needed?
Most patients benefit from a professional dental cleaning every six months, though some may require more frequent care.
