Dental Cleanings and Exams in Brentwood, TN

Woman pointing at her mouth, brentwood tnOur dental team encourages prevention and is pleased to welcome patients of all ages.

Dental cleanings and exams are at the heart of a healthy smile. These treatments help you achieve and maintain optimal oral health for life.

Even if you’re a dedicated brusher and flosser (which we applaud the commitment), six-month checkups are still crucial to prevention.

Teeth cleanings help lower your risks for the following oral health conditions or issues:

  • Tooth Decay
  • Tooth Loss
  • Gingivitis
  • Periodontal Disease
  • Tooth Infections
  • Bad Breath

The Benefits of Prevention

Preventive dentistry is all about maintaining your smile's long-term health. Below, we share a few benefits you may not have considered.

Saves You Money
By preventing oral health issues, you save time and money on ongoing dental treatment and maintenance.
Freshens Your Breath
Professional teeth cleanings in Brentwood, TN, remove the bacteria and tartar that cause recurring bad breath.
Keeps You in Candidacy
Today, you may only need checkups, but if you want cosmetic dentistry in the future, prevention helps keep you in candidacy.

Frequently Asked Questions

The general rule of thumb is to visit twice a year, but it really depends on your unique smile. Just like hot chicken preferences and honky-tonk playlists, dental care isn’t one-size-fits-all. 

For most people, a dental checkup and cleaning every six months helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Plus, regular visits allow your dentist in Nashville to catch small problems before they turn into costly, painful ones.

However, some patients may need more frequent visits. If you have gum disease, a history of cavities, or wear braces, your dentist might recommend coming in more often to keep your teeth and gums in top shape.

On the flip side, if your teeth and gums are in rockstar condition, your dentist may suggest yearly visits—but only if your oral health stays on track between appointments.

Dental Checkups with Your Brentwood Dentist

Older woman smiling in dental chair, brentwood tnRegular dental checkups enable the dentist to compare oral health changes over time. They also help us diagnose emerging conditions before they pose a serious risk to your oral health. For example, periodontal disease in the early stage of gingivitis is reversible. When it advances to periodontitis, it is merely treatable.

By seeing your dentist every six months for checkups, you’ll also have regular oral cancer screenings for early detection, which often means a more favorable outcome.

Additionally, your checkups include a conversation with the dentist to address any questions or concerns you might have about your dental health. We’ll share any findings with you and discuss all potential treatment plans if warranted.

Educating you about your oral health and giving you the tools to make informed decisions is essential to our team.

 

Brentwood Dental Cleanings: What to Expect

Your dental cleaning is an excellent opportunity to relax while your hygienist gently removes debris and tartar from your teeth. This is a gentle and non-invasive procedure that uses specialized tools to gently remove cavity-causing ingredients and bacteria from the teeth and gums. We finish with a polish.

You may think that if you brush and floss regularly, you don’t need dental cleanings. Unfortunately, your toothbrush and dental floss can’t remove stubborn tartar or clear bacteria from hard-to-reach areas. For that, you need a professional teeth cleaning every six months.
