Be Proactive With Your Tooth & Gum Health

Brushing and flossing are an important part of maintaining your oral health. However, when it comes to oral care, it’s important to have regular cleanings and exams too. Professional cleanings can prevent serious infection such as gingivitis and gum disease. Dental exams catch problems in the early stages so they don’t become serious infections.

Here is what to expect when you see us for your our cleanings and exams:

  • We’ll remove plaque and tartar buildup from your smile. This will reduce your risk of cavities and periodontal disease.
  • Our advanced technology keeps things efficient, and painless numbing techniques will keep you relaxed during your appointment.
  • You will receive two exams — one by a dental hygienist and one by either Dr. David Bell or Dr. Joe Bell.
  • During your exam, we will identify any decay and periodontal problems. If we spot any issues, we’ll discuss your treatment options.
  • We will screen for oral cancer and and use a painless OralCDx brush biopsy when needed for any diagnostic tests.

Don’t take chances with your oral health. Keep your mouth in good shape with dental cleanings and exams in Frankfort. Call 502-783-6322 to plan your next checkup with us or schedule your appointment online.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings & Exams

How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?

Most of the time, a regular dental cleaning and exam will take about an hour. During this time, our team will take a set of digital X-rays if needed, thoroughly clean and polish all your teeth, and perform a complete dental exam. If you need additional work, such as a tooth filling or fluoride treatment, we’ll let you know and advise you of the extra time required.

How often should I get a dental cleaning and exam?

To keep your teeth and gums in the best possible shape, we recommend visiting our office every six months for dental cleanings and exams. This allows our team to remove bacteria-filled plaque before it can cause any serious problems. It also enables us to find issues like cavities and gum disease in their earliest stages, when they are easiest to treat.

Why are dental cleanings and exams necessary?

According to the American Dental Association, you should brush your teeth twice and floss once every day. While this is essential for keeping your mouth clean and healthy, only a professional has the instruments and training to remove plaque buildup from your teeth and spot gum disease in its earliest stage. This is why you should visit the dentist for cleanings about every six months.
