How often should I get dental examinations and cleanings?

The team at Dhir Dentistry follows the American Dental Association’s recommendations of having routine evaluations at a dentist’s office at least twice a year. This allows Dr. Sanjay Dhir and his team in San Diego, California, to spot problems that might require treatment in their earliest stages for the best possible outcome. Our team is truly dedicated to ensuring that our patients have healthy teeth and gums for life and are educated on how to do so.

What can I expect during my dental examinations and cleanings?

Patients who visit Dhir Dentistry for their first appointment may have questions about what they can expect during this visit. We start by comprehensively examining the teeth, gums, and mouth. This includes checking for any signs of decay or damage with digital X-rays. We also check for signs of gum disease, such as inflammation and bleeding of the soft tissues in the mouth. Our team will then discuss these findings with you and provide recommendations on how to maintain good oral health at home based on this information obtained.

After this, our hygienists will perform a professional cleaning to remove plaque buildup that brushing alone cannot achieve. They may also polish your teeth, making them look brighter and cleaner. Then, our team reviews the preventive measures you can take in-between visits to keep your smile healthy for the long term!

How often should I see Dr. Sanjay Dhir for cleanings and exams?

At Dhir Dentistry, we recommend that our patients come in for a dental exam and cleaning every six months. Patients with existing dental problems or conditions such as diabetes may need to come in more often.
