Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I get my teeth cleaned?

Most patients should have a professional dental cleaning and exam every six months to help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health issues. However, some patients, especially those with gum disease or certain medical conditions, may benefit from more frequent visits. Dr. Lane will recommend a schedule that’s tailored to your individual needs.

Routine dental cleanings are generally comfortable and should not be painful. If you have sensitive teeth, inflamed gums, or significant tartar buildup, you may experience mild discomfort, but our team takes a gentle approach to ensure your visit is as comfortable as possible. If you’re feeling anxious or have concerns, let us know; we’re here to help.

Not always. Dental X-rays are taken only when they’re needed to monitor your oral health or diagnose concerns that can’t be seen during a visual exam. Factors such as your dental history, current oral health, and risk for cavities or gum disease help determine how often X-rays are recommended.

Skipping routine cleanings allows plaque and tartar to build up, increasing your risk of cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and tooth loss. Small problems that could have been treated early may become more complex and costly over time. Regular preventive care helps keep your smile healthy and can reduce the need for extensive dental treatment in the future.

Many dental insurance plans cover preventive services such as routine exams, professional cleanings, and necessary X-rays. Coverage varies by provider and plan, so our team is happy to help verify your benefits, explain your coverage, and maximize your insurance whenever possible. If you have questions, we’re here to help before your appointment.
