Twice a year suits most people, but not everyone. There is no single schedule that is appropriate for every patient. Your recommended interval depends on your current oral health, cavity risk, gum condition, treatment history, and other individual factors. We will recommend a schedule after evaluating your needs.
Not necessarily. Dental X-rays are recommended when they are expected to provide information needed for diagnosis or treatment planning. Your history, symptoms, previous images, age, and current examination help determine whether new images are appropriate.
A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar when the gums are generally healthy or show mild inflammation. A deep cleaning, also called scaling and root planing, treats periodontal disease by removing deposits from below the gumline and along the root surfaces.
No. Children commonly receive fluoride and sealants, but adults may also benefit when they have a higher risk of cavities, exposed root surfaces, deep grooves in their teeth, dry mouth, or a history of frequent decay. Recommendations are based on the patient’s needs and the condition of individual teeth.
Yes. A comprehensive oral exam can establish your current dental health and identify areas that may need attention. Let us know how long it has been and whether you are experiencing pain or other symptoms when scheduling.
Whether you are due for a routine clean, returning after time away, or booking care for your family, contact our Dearborn team today to schedule your visit.
