What Are Dental Cleanings & Exams?

Cleanings and exams protect and preserve your oral health. During a dental cleaning, our skilled dental hygienist uses advanced equipment to remove plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing and flossing can't reach. Often, we use guided biofilm therapy (GBT), an innovative cleaning process that’s minimally invasive and highly effective. 

During dental exams, Dr. Martz will check for problems, from cavities and bite misalignment to periodontal (gum) disease and oral cancer. This preventive exam allows for the prompt identification and treatment of oral health concerns. 

To conclude your cleaning and examination, Dr. Martz will provide personalized guidance on proper home care techniques and specific areas that may need extra attention to keep your smile healthy between visits.

How Often Should You Schedule a Cleaning & Exam?

For patients of all ages, we recommend professional dental cleanings and exams at least twice a year, typically every six months. 

This biannual schedule allows us to monitor changes in your oral health, remove accumulated plaque and tartar before they cause damage, detect problems in their most treatable stages, and maintain the results of previous dental work. 

Some may need more frequent visits, including:

• Those with gum disease may require cleanings every three to four months
• Patients with a history of cavities benefit from more frequent monitoring
• Individuals with certain medical conditions or compromised immune systems
• Smokers and tobacco users who face higher oral health risks

The Benefits of Routine Dentist Visits

Maintaining routine preventive care at our Las Vegas practice provides exceptional advantages for your oral and overall health:

• Prevent cavities – Cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing alone can't reach, stopping decay before it starts.
• Reduce risk of gum disease – Early detection and treatment of gingivitis prevents progression to periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.
• Enhance your smile – Professional cleaning removes surface stains from coffee, tea, and other foods, leading to brighter, more attractive smiles.
• Freshen your breath – With routine cleanings, you can eliminate odor-causing bacteria and tartar buildup that contribute to persistent bad breath.
• Save time and money – Preventive care is far less expensive and time-consuming than treating advanced dental problems. 
• Support overall health – Oral health is connected to your general wellbeing. Regular exams help identify signs of systemic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and oral cancer early. 
• Maintain dental work – Protect your investment in crowns, fillings, dental implants, and other restorations by keeping them clean and monitoring their condition. 
• Peace of mind – Have confidence that your oral health is being monitored and maintained by an experienced team that is invested in your wellbeing.
