Introduction
What are dental exams and cleanings? A dental
exam is a check-up of your teeth and gums to see
if there are any problems. In the Dental Cleaning
Procedure, plaque and tartar are meticulously
eliminated from your teeth. Why are dental exams
and cleanings important? They can help prevent
cavities and gum disease. They can also help
detect oral cancer early, when it is most
treatable.
