Dental Cleanings & Exams in Cumming, GA
Gentle Preventive Care for a Lifetime of Healthy Smiles
Your oral health is the foundation of your overall wellness, and it all starts with routine Dental Cleanings & Exams. At Inspiring Smiles in Cumming, GA, we provide thorough yet gentle preventive care designed to keep your teeth strong, your gums healthy, and your smile looking its best.
Whether it’s your first visit or your regular six-month checkup, our team makes sure every teeth cleaning and dental exam is comfortable, effective, and tailored to your needs.
Why Are Dental Cleanings & Exams Important?
Professional dental cleanings and regular dental exams are essential for preventing small concerns from becoming bigger, costlier problems. While daily brushing and flossing are important, only a dentist can:
- Remove hardened tartar buildup that can’t be brushed away at home
- Detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, and oral cancer
- Track changes in your bite, jaw, or overall oral health
- Protect your overall health by addressing oral bacteria linked to systemic conditions like heart disease and diabetes
By making teeth cleaning appointments part of your routine, you’ll safeguard both your smile and your long-term health.
What Happens During a Dental Exam?
When you visit our general dentistry office in Cumming, your comprehensive dental exam will include:
- A review of your medical and dental history
- Digital X-rays or imaging (as needed) to detect hidden issues
- A thorough evaluation of your teeth, gums, and bite
- VELscope oral cancer screening to identify early warning signs
- Discussion of preventive treatments, such as fluoride applications or dental sealants for added protection
Our doctors will also answer your questions and recommend next steps if treatment is needed.
What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?
Your teeth cleaning will be performed by one of our skilled dental hygienists using advanced technology for maximum comfort. This process includes:
- Removing plaque and tartar buildup from tooth surfaces and along the gumline
- Polishing your teeth to leave them smooth and shiny
- Flossing to reach between teeth and below the gumline
- Reviewing at-home care techniques to improve brushing or flossing habits
For patients at higher risk of decay, we may recommend additional preventive care, like fluoride treatments.
How Often Do You Need Dental Cleanings & Exams?
Most patients benefit from a dental cleaning and exam every six months. However, if you’re managing gum disease, wear braces, or have a history of frequent cavities, our dentists may recommend more frequent visits.
