Why Check Ups and Cleanings are Necessary for Your Oral Health


Image of a beautiful happy young woman sitting in medical dentist center.From the first time you were taught how to brush your teeth to now, it was instilled upon you that if you brushed and flossed routinely, otherwise you could suffer from bacteria, diseases, and more that could result in needing a tooth extracted. While this statement is true, it is also important to note the necessity of attending your bi-annual check-ups and cleanings as well when it comes to your health. At Cleveland Family Dentistry in Cleveland, Texas, we prioritize your oral health and want to ensure it is at its best, which is why we want to stress the reasons behind attending those check-ups.

Checkups & Cleanings


Most patients should schedule routine checkups and cleanings twice a year. Each appointment allows one of our hygienists to clean your teeth carefully and thoroughly by removing plaque and tartar buildup that may lead to gum disease, tooth decay, or other dental issues. Your regular appointment also allows us to perform a comprehensive examination of your teeth and oral tissues to determine if further dental treatments are needed.

Ultrasonic Deep Cleaning

Plaque and tartar cling to the teeth on a regular basis. Over time, they can build up and the bacteria can find its way underneath the gums, causing plaque to form on the roots of teeth. Scaling and root planing, also known as deep cleaning, is the process used to remove the excess plaque and tartar from the roots. Doing so helps reduce the risk of developing gum disease. We use ultrasonic scaling technology to help break up the plaque and tartar more quickly and comfortably, when compared to traditional deep cleaning treatments.

Oral Cancer Screening

Dental cleanings are just one part of a routine visit. We also employ advanced imaging technology to conduct thorough and comprehensive examinations of the inside of your oral cavity. This helps us see any signs of gum disease, tooth decay, or other issues that may need treatment. We also conduct an oral cancer screening during your visit and check for lesions, sores, or other abnormalities.
