Cleanings and Examinations

Prevention, including regular dental checkups, is the foundation for a healthy, comfortable smile. These routine appointments are crucial because they protect you against the need for more complex and costly dental treatment in the future.

The Importance of Preventive Cleanings and Exams

Staying consistent with routine dental checkups at Dr. Michael Hoang, DMD, in Hawthorne, CA, offers many benefits, including:

Less Discomfort — Addressing issues early when they’re easier to treat can minimize dental pain and the need for more invasive treatment.
Savings on Dental Costs — Preventive care is significantly less costly than treating problems that have worsened over time.
Fewer Dental Emergencies—Regular checkups allow for prompt treatment, reducing the need for emergency dental visits and disruptions to your busy schedule.

Preventive dental care can also contribute to better overall health. Research has shown strong links between gum disease and various health conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke, dementia, and certain cancers.

Are you worried about scheduling an appointment because it's been a while since your last checkup? Don’t be! Dr. Mike is here to support you and help you get your oral health back on track without judgment.

Regular Dental Exams Are Your Best Insurance for Healthy Teeth!

When you maintain your routine dental exams and cleanings, your dentist and hygienist can detect and diagnose any oral health conditions that put your smile at risk. We always present all of your treatment options so you can make the most informed choice for the future of your smile.

Healthier Gums and Teeth

Maintaining regular dental exams and cleanings keeps your teeth and gums healthier. No matter how diligent you are about brushing and flossing your teeth, you cannot remove all of the tartar that develops between appointments. Your dental team will use a gentle touch and precision tools to remove the tartar that can cause decay and gum disease.

Early Detection and Diagnosis

What if you could find a small cavity before it becomes an infection, root canal, or extraction? Aside from the intense pain that comes with infection, you could save your tooth! That is why we recommend your regular checkup and cleaning appointments. Your dentist can find little issues before they become big problems!

A More Beautiful, Fresh Smile

When you have regular dental cleanings, your dental team will polish away surface stains and tartar that can cause yellow or brown stains. Each time you leave our dental office, you will have a smooth, fresh smile that gives you confidence and fresher breath. This is also a great time to discuss cosmetics like teeth whitening.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during a cleaning and examination?

A dental exam and cleaning at Dr. Michael Hoang’s office in Hawthorne, CA, involves thoroughly checking and cleaning your teeth and gums to keep your smile healthy and prevent dental issues.

Detailed Explanation of a Dental Exam

The dental exam starts with Dr. Mike reviewing your dental and medical history to understand any health issues that might affect your dental treatment.

Next, he uses specialized tools and extensive expertise to check your teeth for signs of decay, cracks, or wear. He also checks your gums for any signs of gum disease, such as swelling or deep pockets. As a routine part of your exam, Dr. Mike checks your lips, tongue, throat, tissues, and gums for any signs of oral cancer.

What to Expect during Your Teeth Cleaning

Even if you brush and floss diligently at home, plaque and tartar can build up. Dr. Mike carefully removes these deposits from above and below the gumline. After removing tartar, he polishes your teeth to remove stains and give your mouth a fresh, clean feeling.

Dr. Mike may also take digital x-rays, depending on how long it's been since you last had them done. Your x-rays allow him to detect issues not apparent during a visual exam, such as below the gum line or within the tooth.

We are always accepting new patients and will welcome you warmly, whether it’s been six months or six years since your last checkup. If you're due for your next exam and teeth cleaning, call our Hawthorne, CA, dental office to schedule an appointment.
