What is included in a routine dental exam and cleaning?

A dental exam in Snohomish includes:

  • A Comprehensive Oral Examination
  • Advanced Health and Soft-Tissue Screening
  • Professional Dental Hygiene Treatment
  • Treatment Planning and a Conversation with Your Dentist

A Comprehensive Oral Examination

You should see the dentist every six months for a routine dental checkup. This schedule has been designed to reduce your risk of preventable conditions, such as tooth decay and gum disease. If you have a specific oral health concern, the dentist may further customize this schedule. 

Advanced Health and Soft-Tissue Screening

We don’t limit dental exams to your teeth and gums. We also focus on the soft tissues and the oral structures that support your smile. For example, we provide an oral cancer screening for early detection and treatment.

Professional Dental Hygiene Treatment

We believe that professional teeth cleanings are the hallmark of healthy teeth and gums. Teeth cleanings remove cavity-causing buildup, such as tartar, and bacteria that can lead to gum disease, tooth stains, and bad breath.
