Doctor Dave Dorroh on Dental Cleaning and Exams
It’s always a good idea to get your teeth cleaned. You know, if you, if you don’t do that then your health in general kind of suffers. We had patients that dropped out of dental care.
They didn’t come in for a couple of years and unfortunately we saw some really severe damage that was done to their teeth. I have no idea what they did, but by not being in on a regular basis, things that started small became big problems. So that’s why it’s always a good idea to just have one someone, it’s like having somebody look under your hood.
Just take a look, make sure everything’s okay, because cavities can occur very quickly and get out of control quickly.

Common Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams
How long does a dental exam and cleaning take?
The length of these services may vary a bit, depending on whether we take X-rays or provide any preventive services like dental sealants. Usually, though, we can complete an exam and cleaning in about an hour. You may need to allow more time if it’s been a long time since you’ve seen a dentist.
How soon after my cleaning can I eat?
You can typically eat right after a dental cleaning, as it doesn’t require any numbing or recovery time. However, it’s important to consider the potential sensitivity of your teeth and gums after the cleaning. If you experience sensitivity or your dentist advises against consuming certain foods or drinks immediately after the cleaning, it’s best to follow their recommendations. In general, you can resume your regular eating habits after a dental cleaning without significant delay or restrictions.
Do dental cleanings hurt?
Dental cleanings involve the removal of plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth using specialized instruments. You may experience slight pressure or vibrations during the cleaning, but it should not be painful. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, your dental hygienist can adjust the cleaning technique to ensure your comfort.
