What are the benefits of routine cleanings and dental exams?

Benefits of visiting your Manvel dentist on a routine basis include:

  • Help prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath
  • Allow early detection of dental problems before they worsen
  • Include oral cancer screenings and bite evaluations
  • Remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing miss
  • Provide patients an opportunity to ask any questions they have
  • Keep teeth looking clean, smooth, and healthy
  • Support overall health by reducing harmful bacteria in the mouth

How will I know if I need a regular dental cleaning or a periodontal cleaning?

A regular dental cleaning focuses on removing plaque and tartar above the gumline for patients with healthy gums. A periodontal cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, is needed when gum disease is present and bacteria have spread below the gumline. Signs you may need periodontal care include bleeding gums, gum recession, persistent bad breath, or bone loss seen on X-rays. Your dentist can evaluate your gum health and recommend the appropriate cleaning for you.

Will teeth cleanings whiten my teeth?

Routine teeth cleanings can remove surface stains caused by coffee, tea, wine, and tobacco, which can make your smile appear slightly brighter. However, cleanings do not change the natural color of your teeth. If you’re looking for a noticeably whiter smile, our practice offers Zoom! professional teeth whitening, which can safely lift deeper stains and lighten tooth shade several levels beyond what a cleaning can achieve.

Are routine cleanings and exams affordable?

Routine cleanings and exams are among the most affordable and valuable dental services because they help prevent costly problems later. Most dental insurance plans fully or mostly cover preventive visits twice per year. For patients without insurance, our in-house Dental Savers Plan includes biannual dental cleanings, exams, fluoride treatments, and X-rays, making it a great way to save on the cost of routine treatments.
