A routine cleaning and checkup does more than polish your teeth — it's the visit most likely to catch a problem while it's still small and inexpensive to fix. A hygienist removes plaque and tartar buildup brushing alone can't reach, especially below the gumline. The exam that follows checks for cavities, gum disease, and early signs like enamel wear or oral cancer.
Bitewing X-rays catch cavities forming between teeth long before they'd be visible or symptomatic. Most insurance plans cover two cleanings a year, which lines up with how quickly plaque hardens back into tartar.
The consequences of skipped cleanings compound slowly, which is part of why the damage often isn't noticed until it's already progressed. A cleaning today is a fraction of the cost and discomfort of periodontal treatment down the line.
Gum health is checked every visit, not just when symptoms appear.
Bitewing imaging catches between-teeth decay invisible to a visual exam.
A visual and physical screening for early signs of oral cancer is part of every standard exam.
