What To Expect During Your Exam & Cleaning

During your routine cleaning and oral exam, the team at Enamel General & Cosmetic Dentistry will take the time to understand any oral health concerns you might have. We aren’t in a rush, and we offer personalized services tailored to each patient’s unique needs and preferences, always keeping your long-term goals in mind.

Your dental exam and cleaning may include:

Medical/dental history review
Dental x-rays
Teeth cleaning
Teeth polishing
Professional flossing
Comprehensive exam
Preventive treatments like fluoride

Every patient is unique, so there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for oral health. We offer a low-paced environment that’s free of judgment and pressure, where you can feel good about getting the preventive dental care you need.

If you’ve disliked dental cleanings in the past, we encourage you to visit Enamel General and Cosmetic Dentistry. If the dentist makes you nervous, you can also ask us about sedation dentistry. We’ve cultivated an environment that creates not only beautiful, functional smiles but also fosters trusted, long-term relationships. We’re not rushing to get people in and out or upselling them on services they don’t need. We’re listening, learning, and helping you get the strong, beautiful smile you’ve always dreamed of.

How Often Should You Schedule Cleanings?

The general rule for routine dental cleanings is once every six months. However, some patients may require more frequent cleanings.

You might need cleanings more than twice a year if you have:

Rapid plaque buildup
Active gum disease
Weakened immunity
Chronic conditions like diabetes
Smoking or tobacco use
Dry mouth
High cavity risk
Dental appliances like braces, retainers, or bridges

You can talk to your dentist about the dental cleaning schedule that’s right for you. After carefully assessing your unique needs, they will ensure your preventive dental care routine supports your long-term oral health goals.

Regular visits also give Dr. Kabaklian a chance to catch small problems early. If your exam turns up a cavity, we can usually repair it with tooth-colored dental fillings. A tooth that can’t be saved may need one of our gentle tooth extractions, and if something comes up between visits, our emergency dentistry team will get you in quickly.

Is going to the dentist every 6 months really necessary?

For most patients, going to the dentist every 6 months for routine dental cleanings is the best way to prevent cavities, deep clean teeth, detect potential issues early, and maintain optimal overall oral health. However, some patients may require more or less frequent visits. Your dentist will let you know how often you should get cleanings based on your current condition and long-term oral health goals.

Why do my gums bleed during or after a cleaning?

Gums can bleed during or after a dental cleaning for multiple reasons. Firstly, professional dental cleanings are deeper and more intense than your daily flossing and brushing, and your gums may simply be sensitive to the thorough cleaning. If your gums are inflamed, that can also lead to bleeding during or after a cleaning. Inflammation can be caused by plaque buildup along the gumline and may indicate the early stages of gum disease. Luckily, with routine cleanings and early intervention, gum health can often be restored.

What is the cost of a cleaning & do you accept my insurance?

The cost of a routine dental cleaning varies depending on your needs and whether additional treatments are recommended. If your insurance does not fully cover your visit, we offer transparent pricing and will walk you through all costs ahead of time. Our goal is to make high-quality dental care accessible and affordable for all.
