Common Questions About Dental Cleanings & Exams
The length of these services may vary a bit, depending on whether we take X-rays or provide any preventive services like dental sealants. Usually, though, we can complete an exam and cleaning in about an hour. You may need to allow more time if it’s been a long time since you’ve seen a dentist.
It all depends on the type of treatment you receive during your appointment. If our dental team has applied fluoride treatments to your teeth, you’ll want to wait at least 30 minutes before you eat. Otherwise, there’s no reason to wait at all! However, many people prefer to wait awhile since their teeth and gums may feel a bit sensitive after their cleaning.
In general, most patients should schedule a dental cleaning and exam twice a year. Many times, however, it can be more frequent depending on dental and medical conditions. Doing so allows us to keep a close eye on your oral health and monitor any developing problems. If we discover a situation that needs attention, we can treat it early before it worsens and has the chance to damage your smile.
