A routine cleaning isn't just polishing — our Teeth Cleaning And Checkup visits include gum-pocket measurements, bitewing X-rays when due, and an oral cancer screening most patients don't realize is part of the standard exam.
These are the four things patients actually ask about before booking Teeth Cleaning And Checkup, not a generic checklist we copied from another service page.
Tracking pocket depth over time lets us catch early gum disease before it becomes a bigger problem.
We'll explain why an X-ray is or isn't recommended at a given visit rather than defaulting to yes.
A visual and physical oral cancer screening is part of every standard checkup, not a separate add-on.
Your chart tracks pocket depths, staining, and wear patterns over time, not just a single snapshot.
Every option below is available under the same upfront-pricing standard, whichever specific service ends up fitting your case.
Plaque and tartar buildup, especially below the gumline, is removed with hand instruments and an ultrasonic scaler. We'll tell you honestly if your interval should be adjusted based on what we're seeing.
Gum-pocket depths are measured at multiple points around each tooth and recorded to track changes over time. Deeper pockets may indicate the need for a more thorough deep cleaning.
Bitewing X-rays check for decay between teeth that a visual exam alone can't catch. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than older film technology.
A visual and tactile exam of the mouth, tongue, and throat checks for unusual lesions, lumps, or discoloration. Most findings are entirely benign, but we follow up on anything unusual promptly.
A fluoride application strengthens enamel and helps prevent early decay, especially useful for higher-risk patients. We'll recommend it specifically when your risk profile supports it.
We compare your current exam findings — pocket depths, staining, wear patterns — against previous visits. Ask to see how your numbers have trended if you're curious.
No mystery about what happens between calling us and walking out with the problem addressed.
