Are Dental Exams & Cleanings Worth It?

The short answer is YES. That’s why we suggest annual oral exams, regular checkups, and dental cleanings for you and all family members.

Fact: Most dental insurance plans offer partial or complete coverage for dental exams and teeth cleaning procedures.

Moreover, here are seven dental issues that you can prevent with regular dental exams and cleanings.

How do Dental Examinations Help?

Oral exams and dental checkups are the first steps toward overall dental health and hygiene.

When you go for a routine examination, your dentist can help detect and prevent any oral health issues and diseases—before they become an issue.

If it’s your first visit to our clinic, your dentist will start by asking you about your medical history.

Your medical & dental history

Your medical history informs your dentist about factors, such as medications you take or previous injuries, that may affect your oral health. It also helps to determine how often you should have a dental checkup and examination.

Your oral health and hygiene depend on how often you should go for a dental examination. Our goal is to catch and prevent issues as early as possible.

Fact: The Canadian Dental Association (CDA) recommends a dental exam & checkup for most people every six months.

What your dentist looks for

Your dentist will conduct a visual exam during your visit, looking for early signs of cavities, as well as damaged, missing, or decayed teeth. But they’ll also look for:

Early signs of disease

  • inflammation of the gums (gum disease)
  • early signs of mouth or throat cancer

Clenching and grinding

Catching signs of this during your appointment means it can be treated early.

If you clench or grind your teeth, your dentist can help prevent headaches, a sore jaw, and hearing loss.

Structure and function

Your dentist will examine:

  • the function of your temporomandibular joint, which joins the jaw to the skull
  • general condition of the bones in your face and jaw
  • position of your teeth (e.g. spacing, bite)

Your neck

Your dentist will examine your neck, feeling the glands and lymph nodes for signs of inflammation, which can point to a cause or condition elsewhere in the body.

X-rays

Your dentist may also take dental X-rays. These images can reveal:

  • cavities under existing fillings
  • fractures
  • impacted wisdom teeth
  • decay under your gum line
  • bone-loss

Your post-dental exam treatment plan

Your dentist will share a dental treatment plan if a problem is spotted.

This plan gives you options for further care and preventing worsening symptoms and complications.

Please don’t hesitate to ask your dentist questions about the exam, diagnosis or treatments should they arise. Speaking of which, here is a list of common questions patients ask.

Exam & Dental Cleaning FAQs

What Does a Dental Cleaning Cost?

Are you curious about the cost of a dental cleaning? Dental cleanings cost between $150 and $250. However, the total amount may differ. For instance, one factor in determining the cost is your dental insurance plan and coverage.

How Long Do Dental Cleanings Take?

Dental Cleaning or Teeth Cleaning treatments usually take 45 – 60 minutes. However, this depends on the amount of work needed. Oftentimes, cleanings and dental exams are combined. As a result, a cleaning can take longer than one hour. 

When Should I Get a Dental Cleaning?

The American Dental Association suggests “regular” visits for a dental cleaning. For some people, the best frequency will be every 6 months or so. If you are at a higher risk for gum disease, you may need to visit a dentist more frequently.

How Long Can I Eat After Teeth Cleaning?

Suppose your teeth cleaning appointment includes a fluoride treatment or air polishing. In that case, our Brampton Dentist suggests waiting at least 30 minutes before eating. If a fluoride treatment or air polishing is not part of your teeth cleaning, there is no need to wait to eat. However, we suggest avoiding foods that can cause staining or tooth discoloration for at least 6 hours after a treatment.

Is it Painful to Get Your Teeth Cleaned?

Teeth cleanings should not cause you pain. However, suppose a dental patient experiences discomfort during a cleaning. In that case, it is usually due to existing symptoms such as gum inflammation, tooth decay, or other oral hygiene issues, which can increase sensitivity during a patient’s dental cleaning procedure.

Talk to us before your exam and cleaning to let us know of any pre-existing issues. We listen.

Do Your Dental Benefits Expire At The End Of The Year?

Many dental insurance plans reset benefits at the beginning of each year – and you don’t get to carry any unused benefits forward from one year to the next. That’s why it’s a great time of the year to think about how you can utilize any unused allowances for dental benefits before they expire.
