​
CLEANINGS & CHECKUPS
Routine cleanings and checkups are the foundation of oral health. We recommend two visits per year or more if you have gum disease. Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing cannot, while also including a periodontal exam to monitor gum health.
​
These visits not only prevent gum infections and tooth decay but also help reduce long-term dental costs by catching issues early.
COMPREHENSIVE DENTAL EXAMS
At least once a year, Dr. Wentworth performs a detailed exam to check for cavities, gum recession, cracks, and other concerns. We also provide oral cancer screenings during your exam for early detection.
Regular exams and cleanings are typically covered by dental insurance as preventive care, making them a simple, cost-effective way to protect your family’s oral health.

COMMON PATIENT FAQS
​​
​
​
How Long Does An Exam Take?
Most appointments last 30–60 minutes. Additional time may be needed for X-rays or treatment.
Do cleanings whiten teeth?
Cleanings improve oral health and can remove staining which can improve the appearance of your teeth. However, it's not a formal whitening procedure.
​
Are cleanings covered by insurance?
Yes, most plans fully cover biannual exams and cleanings.
​
What if I haven’t been to the dentist in years?
We’ll carefully check for cavities, gum disease, or other concerns and create a personalized care plan. Your cleaning may be more involved, but we’ll guide you every step of the way.
​
Can I eat after my appointment?
If you’ve had a fluoride treatment, wait 30 minutes before eating. Otherwise, you can eat normally.
