Cleanings & Exams

A consistent cleaning and exam is the single best thing you can do for your long-term dental health. It is also the foundation of everything we do at Cedar Ridge.

What a visit looks like

Your hygienist begins with a careful, comfortable cleaning to remove plaque and tartar that brushing cannot reach. We then polish, review your home care, and answer any questions.

Your dentist follows with a full exam, including an oral cancer screening and a look at any areas of concern. We use digital X-rays only as often as they are genuinely needed.

How often should you come in?

For most patients, every six months is the right rhythm. If you are managing gum disease or other conditions, we may recommend a more frequent schedule and we will always explain why.
