Dental Cleanings & Exams

A dental cleaning and exam are essential components of preventive dental care. A dental cleaning, also known as a prophylaxis, involves the removal of plaque, tartar and stains from your teeth. It helps to lower your risk of tooth decay, gum disease and other oral health issues. During the exam, we will assess your oral health, check for any signs of dental problems and recommend appropriate treatments if necessary.

How Often Should I Seek a Dental Cleaning?

It is generally recommended to have a dental cleaning and exam every six months. However, the frequency may vary depending on your oral health. Our dentist will evaluate your needs and recommend the appropriate schedule for your dental cleanings.

What To Expect

During a dental cleaning and exam here at 360 Dental of Mill Creek, our dental hygienist will carefully remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. They will also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and give them a smooth, clean feel. Our dentist will then examine your teeth, gums and overall oral health. X-rays may be taken to detect any hidden dental problems. Dr. Jasmeet Punia will discuss the findings with you, address any concerns and recommend any necessary treatments or preventive measures.
