Dental Cleanings & Exams

Routine Teeth Cleanings & Oral Examinations

Our dentist, Dr. Brad A. Walker, will conduct a dental exam as part of your normal six-month dental cleaning visit. This helps Dr. Walker monitor changes in your oral health to detect gum disease and other issues early. This also gives you an opportunity to speak with Dr. Walker to share concerns you might have about your personal dental hygiene and oral health.

The W Dentistry team is commited to helping you refresh and renew your smile, and maintain good oral health. Periodic routine teeth cleanings every 6 months, along with practicing good dental hygiene at home, are vital to keeping your smile bright and your mouth healthy.

The Process

During your dental cleaning and exam, our dental team will:

• Clean your teeth by removing any plaque or tartar (also called dental calculus), which can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease if not removed
• Floss and polish your teeth for a healthy, bright smile
• Examine your smile for signs of any damaging dental conditions or diseases

We may utilize dental technology, such as digital X-rays or an intraoral camera, to further evaluate your smile and make certain that you receive the dental care you need.

Regular dental cleanings and exams are essential in maintaining good oral health, preventing cavities and gum disease, and making sure that issues are detected, addressed and treated as early as possible. We recommend that you visit us every six months for a routine dental cleaning and exam. We may suggest more frequent visits when needed, and we encourage you to contact us if you suffer from a dental emergency, discomfort or injury.
