Preventive Dental Exams and Professional Cleanings in SE Calgary

At White Oak Dental, dental exams and cleanings focus on preventive care and the ongoing maintenance of oral health. Regular visits help manage plaque and tartar buildup, support gum health, and allow for early identification of changes that may affect your oral health over time.

Dental cleanings work alongside routine dental examinations to support long-term oral health. These appointments complement your at-home brushing and flossing routine and help maintain comfort and cleanliness between visits.

What to Expect During a Dental Exam and Cleaning

Dental exams and cleanings include professional hygiene care and clinical assessment. During your visit, one of our registered dental hygienists will focus on removing plaque and calculus from areas that cannot be fully cleaned at home, including above and below the gumline.

Teeth are polished to help reduce surface staining and create smoother tooth surfaces that are easier to maintain between visits. Your dentist will also examine your teeth, gums, and oral tissues to assess overall oral health and monitor for changes.

Personalized guidance may be provided to support daily oral hygiene habits and ongoing care at home.

Why Regular Dental Exams and Cleanings Matter

Routine dental exams and cleanings play an important role in maintaining oral health. Preventive care helps to:

  • Support gum health
  • Reduce plaque and tartar buildup
  • Lower the risk of tooth decay and gum disease
  • Monitor changes in oral health over time
  • Support long-term oral health maintenance

Regular visits allow concerns to be identified earlier and help guide appropriate care as needs change.

How Often Should Dental Exams and Cleanings Be Scheduled?

The recommended frequency of dental exams and cleanings varies based on individual oral health needs. Many patients benefit from visits every six months, while others may require more frequent appointments depending on factors such as gum health, buildup patterns, or existing dental conditions.

Our team works with each patient to determine a schedule that supports prevention, comfort, and long-term oral health.
