Why Routine Cleanings and Exams Matter

Professional dental cleanings and thorough oral exams do more than just keep your teeth looking good — they’re essential for preventing cavities, gum disease, and more serious health issues. At Lumon Dental, we use every appointment as an opportunity to detect issues early, answer your questions, and help you feel confident in your oral health routine.

Preventive care saves you time, discomfort, and money by addressing small problems before they become major ones. Our cleanings and exams are designed to do just that — with precision, care, and a personal touch.

What’s Included in a Cleaning & Exam Appointment?

Your preventive visit is about more than just polishing your teeth — it's a complete oral health check.

Here’s what to expect:

1. Gentle, Professional Cleaning

Our hygienists remove built-up plaque and tartar from your teeth and gumline using ultrasonic and hand-scaling tools. We also polish your teeth for a smooth, clean finish and fresher breath.

2. Comprehensive Oral Exam

Dr. Chadda or Dr. Goettlicher will examine your teeth, gums, bite, and soft tissues to screen for signs of decay, gum disease, oral cancer, or other concerns.

3. Digital X-Rays (as needed)

We use low-radiation digital X-rays to see between and inside your teeth when necessary, allowing us to catch hidden problems before they progress.

4. Personalized Prevention Plan

You’ll receive tailored advice on brushing, flossing, nutrition, and product recommendations. If any issues are found, we’ll explain your treatment options clearly.

How Often Should You Schedule Cleanings?

Most patients benefit from cleanings and exams every six months. However, those with certain conditions — such as gum disease, a history of cavities, or orthodontic appliances — may be advised to visit more frequently.

Our team will recommend a schedule that’s right for you and make it easy to stay on track with your dental care.

We welcome patients of all ages and make sure each visit is a positive experience — especially for kids and teens just building lifelong oral health habits. Our team is experienced in working with young children and offers patient, educational care that grows with your family.
