Preventive care is essential for maintaining a healthy mouth and smile. At Lockwood Family Dental, we recommend scheduling a dental cleaning and exam every six months. These regular checkups are vital in preventing cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues, allowing our dental team to monitor your dental health and catch any problems early for quick treatment.
Dental Cleanings and Exams Process
- Thoroughly clean your teeth to remove plaque and tartar
- Floss between your teeth
- Polish your teeth for a smooth, bright finish
- Examine your mouth for signs of tooth decay, oral cancer, or gum disease
We may also take X-rays and, if needed, apply a fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel.
Although we suggest a six-month interval for most patients, our dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your individual needs. If you experience a dental emergency, injury, or pain, don’t hesitate to contact us right away.
