A routine cleaning isn't just polishing — our Teeth Cleaning And Checkup visits include gum-pocket measurements, bitewing X-rays when due, and an oral cancer screening most patients don't realize is part of the standard exam.
Every Smile Center Dentistry office offering Teeth Cleaning And Checkup is held to the same four standards, verified before the office ever joins our network.
Tracking pocket depth over time lets us catch early gum disease before it becomes a bigger problem.
X-rays are taken on a schedule appropriate to your cavity risk and history, not automatically every single visit.
A visual and physical oral cancer screening is part of every standard checkup, not a separate add-on.
We compare this visit's findings to your last one, so gradual changes don't slip past unnoticed.
Here's the range of Teeth Cleaning And Checkup our Boynton Beach team handles most, described the way we'd explain it chairside rather than in marketing language.
Polishing afterward smooths tooth surfaces and removes surface staining from coffee, tea, or wine. Most patients need this every six months, though some benefit from more frequent visits.
Bleeding on probing and gum recession are noted as early indicators of periodontal issues. Deeper pockets may indicate the need for a more thorough deep cleaning.
Bitewing X-rays check for decay between teeth that a visual exam alone can't catch. Digital X-rays use significantly less radiation than older film technology.
This screening takes just a couple of minutes but is one of the most important parts of the visit. Screening is included in every standard checkup, no separate scheduling needed.
This is a quick add-on to your cleaning visit, not a separate appointment. Both children and adults with higher cavity risk benefit from this.
This trend tracking catches gradual changes that a single visit alone might miss. Your dental chart becomes more useful to you the longer you stay with the same office.
