Why Are Dental Exams & Cleanings Important?

Regular dental exams and cleanings are essential for maintaining a healthy mouth and preventing serious dental issues. At Wang and Cortes Dental, we recommend scheduling these visits every six months. These routine appointments allow us to detect early signs of decay, gum disease, and other dental conditions before they progress. Our practice proudly serves South Tampa and surrounding areas like Manhattan, Waters Ave, Midtown, Ballast Point, Hillsborough, and Tampa Bay.

What to Expect During Your Dental Exam

When you visit Wang and Cortes Dental for a dental exam, our caring team, including Dr. William Wang, Dr. Lourdes “Millie” Cortes, Dr. Chad Burton, and Dr. Gibson Boswell, will thoroughly assess your oral health. Here’s what a typical exam includes:

  • Oral Health Assessment: We examine your teeth, gums, and mouth for any signs of cavities, gum disease, or other issues.
  • Oral Cancer Screening: As part of our commitment to preventative care, we perform an oral cancer screening to detect any abnormalities early on. For more information, visit our Oral Cancer Screening page.
  • X-Rays: We use state-of-the-art digital X-rays to get a detailed view of your teeth and jaw structure, helping us diagnose conditions that are not visible to the naked eye.

Professional Teeth Cleaning

Professional cleanings go beyond regular brushing and flossing. During your cleaning, our hygienists will:

  • Remove Plaque and Tartar: Using specialized tools, we thoroughly clean your teeth to remove buildup that cannot be eliminated at home.
  • Polish Your Teeth: We polish your teeth to remove surface stains, leaving your smile bright and smooth.
  • Fluoride Treatment: If needed, we apply fluoride to strengthen your teeth and prevent future decay. Learn more about our Fluoride Treatment service.

This comprehensive approach to exams and cleanings helps protect your teeth, gums, and overall oral health.

Benefits of Regular Dental Exams & Cleanings

  • Early Detection of Dental Issues: Regular exams allow us to catch potential problems early, avoiding more extensive and costly treatments later.
  • Improved Oral Health: Cleanings reduce the risk of gum disease and decay by removing plaque and tartar buildup.
  • A Brighter Smile: Polishing during your cleaning leaves your teeth looking whiter and feeling fresh.
