Treat Your Teeth to a Professional Cleaning

Even the most thorough teeth brushing routine doesn’t compare to the kind of cleaning you get at the dentist. At Miller Lung Dental Group, we use advanced technology to give you the most thorough cleaning possible. Our ultrasonic equipment uses a special mix of sound waves, water pressure, and tiny bubble implosions (or cavitation) to break apart tartar and plaque on your teeth.

It provides many benefits:

  • Faster – It quickly removes the plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, much faster than traditional methods.
  • More Comfortable – While a cleaning is a relatively pain-free experience, this technology reduces any possible discomfort you may have otherwise.
  • Reduces Staining – Because of its thorough nature, you can expect a brighter smile. However, teeth whitening is a great solution for more stubborn tooth stains.

We Catch Issues Early on With a Complete Dental Exam

Much like you go to your primary care physician for a checkup on your physical health, you need your dentist to do a checkup on your oral health. When you arrive for your first appointment, we’ll take some time to get to know you and your dental history. If it’s been a while since your last visit, you can expect a longer time in our office than usual. We’ll take digital X-rays if necessary.

Our dental exam will look for:

  • Cavities
  • Gum disease
  • Oral cancer
  • Damaged teeth
  • Misaligned bite

For any concerning areas, your dentist will create a treatment plan that restores your smile’s health. Your checkup is also a great time to bring up your smile goals. You can also mention anything you have noticed at home, such as dry mouth.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?

That depends on several factors, including the condition of your teeth. If you haven’t visited a dentist in years, it will likely require more time than usual for your hygienist to remove hardened tartar from your teeth. In addition, you may have more issues you’d like to address with your dentist during your exam. The average time for a cleaning and exam, though, is about an hour.

Why should I get a dental exam if I’m not in pain?

If you wait until you are in pain, you already have a serious problem. On top of that, not all dental issues cause pain. By getting regular exams, you get the benefit of having dental professionals look at your mouth. We can identify potential problems or catch them in the early stages. That allows us to fix them before you may need expensive and invasive treatments.

How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

In general, we recommend that a patient come in every six months for a dental exam and cleaning. Routine checkups allow us the chance to keep an eye on your oral health and provide early treatment for any problems we spot. You may need to visit us more often if you’re susceptible to gum disease.
