What is a dental check-up and cleaning?

A dental check-up is a dental exam of your teeth and gums plus a professional cleaning. It finds small problems early and removes the plaque and tartar that brushing misses. The cleaning part has a clinical name: dental prophylaxis.

A dental exam

The dentist checks each tooth and your gums for early problems.

A professional cleaning

The hygienist clears soft plaque and hardened tartar a toothbrush cannot reach.

Prevention first

Routine cleanings help prevent cavities and gum disease.

Is preventive care right for your whole family?

Preventive care is routine dental cleanings and exams for all ages. One place handles your kids, you, and your parents. Valley View Dental sees patients of every age, so your whole family can keep one team.

Children

Gentle exams and cleanings that fit their stage.

Adults

Keep teeth and gums healthy with regular visits.

Older family members

The same steady care under one roof.

What actually happens at your check-up and cleaning?

Your visit follows a set of clear steps. It includes a dental exam, a professional cleaning or prophylaxis, and any x-rays your dentist recommends.

1

Exam and screening

The dentist or hygienist checks your teeth and gums and does an oral cancer screening.

2

Cleaning

Scaling removes plaque and tartar, then polishing finishes the professional cleaning.

3

X-rays if needed

Dental x-rays are taken only when your dentist judges they are needed, not by default.

4

Plan explained

You hear your plan before any treatment. Fluoride may be offered to protect your teeth.

Will the cleaning hurt, and is it gentle for nervous patients and kids?

A routine cleaning is usually comfortable for most people. Tell your hygienist if anything feels tender, and they adjust. Some sensitivity can happen if your gums are inflamed.

Gentle and judgment-free

For nervous adults and for kids, at your pace.

Explained as we go

How often do you need a check-up and dental x-rays?

Most people need a dental check-up and cleaning about every six months. Dental x-rays are low-dose digital images, taken only when your dentist needs them, not at every visit by default. Kids in cavity-prone years and inflamed gums can call for closer visits.

Most people need a check-up and cleaning about every six months. Your dentist may suggest more or less often, based on your risk.

Are dental sealants worth it for your family?

Dental sealants are thin protective coatings on the chewing surfaces of back teeth. They help block cavities, most often for children and teens. Sealants usually go on the molars, where deep grooves trap food, and some adults with cavity-prone teeth can benefit too. Sealants are one more layer of protection, not a replacement for brushing and cleanings.

What does a check-up and cleaning cost, and how can you pay?

For new patients, your check-up and cleaning comes with a set price, not a surprise bill. There is no set cash price to list for a standard exam and cleaning, so your dentist explains any costs before treatment, and you get a written estimate at a free consult.

A checkup, digital X-rays, and a cleaning, with the number known before you commit.
