How Often Should I Have a Dental Exam?

The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends visiting your dentist for a dental exam and cleaning every six months. This standard scheduling is suitable for most; however, the ADA emphasizes that the frequency of dental visits should be personalized by your dentist to align with your specific oral health condition and medical history.

We provide Oregon City dental checkups that inform our dentist’s approach to optimizing your oral health. We use dental imaging to detect any potential issues that may not be visible, evaluate your gums and perform a thorough tooth-by-tooth examination to make sure there are no signs of decay, chips, or cracks.

Also part of the dental exam are head and neck evaluations to determine proper functioning, complete scans for oral cancer or other health concerns, and a bite analysis to rule out any problems related to a misaligned bite.

Dental Exams Are A Team Effort

At our practice, dental exams are a collaborative effort between our highly skilled dentists and dedicated hygienists. By combining their skills and expertise, we ensure top-quality dental care tailored to each patients’ specific needs.

Our dentists utilize their experience and extensive knowledge to conduct meticulous evaluations, assess dental history, and use advanced diagnostic tools to identify potential issues. Meanwhile, our hygienists play a crucial role in maintaining patients’ oral hygiene - performing thorough cleanings, removing plaque and tartar buildup, and providing valuable education on proper oral care techniques.

Our team-based approach fosters a collaborative environment based on communication and trust. We are committed to establishing long-term relationships with our patients, promoting preventive care, and supporting your journey towards optimal oral health.
