Why Exams and Cleanings Are Essential for Oral Health

Exams and cleanings are essential for your oral health so that any current or potential dental health risks can be identified and treated before they worsen. Routine exams and cleanings allow our team to monitor and enhance your oral health as a means of preventing complications. These visits also allow patients to address any questions or concerns with our dental care team.

Why Patients Should Not Postpone or Ignore Exams and Cleanings

It can be tempting when we have busy schedules to postpone or ignore scheduled appointments for exams and cleanings. This is unwise for several reasons. Most dental issues begin at a level that patients cannot recognize. Therefore, delaying or canceling your dental exam puts you at risk for dental issues to quickly worsen until they become problematic and require more invasive treatment.

Postponing or delaying professional cleanings puts patients at risk for tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, and other oral health complications. That because plaque and tartar build up in the mouth each day, even with regular brushing and flossing. Professional teeth cleaning eliminates the build-up of this harmful material so that your teeth are fully clean and healthy.
