What Are Dental Cleanings and Exams?
Cranford Dentist
Dental cleanings and exams are vital for maintaining your oral health and preventing future dental issues. According to the American Dental Association (ADA), these visits should be scheduled at least twice a year to keep your teeth and gums in top condition. During a cleaning, plaque and tartar that accumulate in hard-to-reach areas are professionally removed, significantly reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. In addition to cleanings, dental exams allow us to identify potential problems, such as tooth decay, gum inflammation, or oral infections, in their earliest stages.
Early detection ensures these issues can be addressed promptly, preventing the need for more extensive or costly treatments later. Beyond health benefits, professional cleanings enhance your smile by removing surface stains caused by food, beverages, and lifestyle habits. Routine cleanings and exams are among the most effective ways to protect your oral health and maintain a radiant, healthy smile.
