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.

I was only in town for a brief time and wasn’t able to book an appointment in advance. After my permanent retainer broke and caused some discomfort, I called and, within 30 minutes, I was already in the waiting room filling out paperwork to be seen. The staff was absolutely amazing! They quickly took care of the issue, relieved my discomfort, and had me on my way within about 10 minutes. Everyone was incredibly kind, professional, and genuinely seemed to care about my well-being. Thank you so much for making what could have been a stressful situation such an easy and positive experience. I truly appreciate everyone who helped me!

I cannot put into words how incredibly grateful I am to have found Dr. Dorroh, and his incredible staff! I presented to this office late on a Monday with a major dilemma. I was experiencing severe tooth pain and was due to travel for my cousins wedding in less than 72 hours. The level of care that I received here was stark in comparison to my previous experience elsewhere. With almost no notice, Dr. Dorroh carved out the time to see me late in the evening. During our visit, he identified a molar that needed an extraction, and said he could fit me in the following day. Out of compassion for my pain, he offered to numb my mouth to provide me a few hours of relief for the night. Afterwards, I went to pay and was told it was no charge. The kindness showed to me was overwhelming!
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.
