Enhance Your Oral Health with Professional Dental Cleanings at Warwick Valley Dental
Keeping your teeth healthy starts with one of the most essential steps in oral care—routine dental exams and cleanings. At Warwick Valley Dental in Warwick, New York, we make it simple and stress-free to protect oral health with expert preventive care in a comfortable setting. Whether it’s your first visit or you are returning for ongoing care, our team, led by Dr. Menakhem Davidov, ensures your smile stays strong, bright, and cavity-free.
How often should I schedule a dental exam and cleaning?
For most patients, scheduling a dental exam and cleaning every six months is recommended. This regular schedule helps detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, or other oral health issues before they become serious. However, we may recommend more frequent visits if you have certain conditions like gum disease or are prone to plaque buildup.
What happens during a routine dental exam and cleaning?
During your appointment, our team will begin with a comprehensive examination of your mouth, teeth, and gums. We’ll take digital X-rays if necessary to evaluate areas not visible to the naked eye. Your cleaning will include removing plaque and tartar buildup, polishing to remove surface stains, and thorough flossing. We’ll also discuss your brushing and flossing habits to ensure you maintain good oral hygiene at home.
Why are regular dental cleanings important for long-term oral health?
Regular cleanings are crucial not just for a beautiful smile but also for preventing more serious health issues. If left untreated, plaque and tartar can lead to gum disease, tooth decay, and even systemic issues like heart disease. By keeping up with your cleanings, you’re taking an important step toward preventing problems before they require costly or invasive treatments.
What’s the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
Regular cleaning targets the surfaces of the teeth above the gum line and is essential for maintaining a healthy mouth. In contrast, a deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is often recommended for patients showing signs of gum disease. This procedure cleans below the gum line to remove bacteria, plaque, and tartar from the tooth roots, helping to restore gum health.
How long does a typical dental cleaning appointment take at Warwick Valley Dental?
Most routine dental cleaning appointments last between 45 minutes to an hour. Your visit may take longer if you are a new patient or require X-rays or a deeper cleaning. We aim to provide thorough, gentle care without rushing so you leave our office confident in your oral health.
