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.

Dr. Dorroh is the very best Dentist I have ever met. I’ve been going to him for about 16 years now and wouldn’t trust anyone else. Not only has he helped me and my family with all of our dental needs, the care and compassion he’s given me feels like he treats me like he would treat his family. He’s an exceptional dentist and has an amazing staff! I’m blessed to have him as my Dentist.

Today Dr. Dorroh worked replacing crowns on two adjacent teeth and also filled a cavity in the same area. We just moved to Tomball and we feel so blessed to have found Dr Dorroh! He is the real deal supported by an incredible team. On our first visit a week ago his hygienist did a great job cleaning my teeth, probably the most thorough cleaning I have ever had in 70 years. The Dr used lot of Novocain but I barely felt any of the injections. I hate needles but he was very gentle and took his time.. A true 5 star Dentist!

Absolutely amazing. He listened to my concerns, understood what I was telling him, then saw for himself the angst I’d been through for the past 5 years. He then fixed it with just a slight adjustment. Prior told me I’d get used to it. I slept all night without interruption for the first time last night without being awakened by excruciating headache, neck or jaw pain.

Friendly staff, skilled Hygienists, nurses, and the best Doctor around. Dr. Dorroh is thorough and meticulous. He takes time to explain xrays and the details of what care is required. I was an emergency patient many years ago and I am so happy to be back with a Dentist that has my best interest in mind when recommending dental procedures. I always receive the very best care and service. Dr. Dorroh is everything you expect from a top-tier Dentist. If you haven’t tried Dr. Dorroh yet, what are you waiting for? Dentistry care with your smile and health in mind.

Long story short. Had a dentist in Tomball tell me I needed to pull 2 front teeth and do implants because of failing root canals. Over 12,000.00 I was quoted. Decided to come see Dr. Dorroh for a second opinion. This dentist gave me hope and referred me to a root canal specialist who was able to save my teeth. Dr. Dorroh was compassionate and has an excellent bedside manner. His office staff is also very warm and compassionate. His office is also very clean and tidy. Highly recommend him for your dental needs.
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.
