Miami Dental Cleanings & Exams

Regular exams are important for maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems before they become serious. During your exam, our dentist will look for early signs of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues. Plus, regular cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, which can contribute to tooth decay and gum disease if left untreated.

Regular cleanings are typically performed every 6 months as part of your routine dental checkup. During a regular cleaning, we’ll remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surface of your teeth and polish them.

Deep cleanings (also called scaling and root planing) are more extensive cleanings that may be recommended if you have gum disease. During a deep cleaning, we clean both the surface of your teeth and below the gum line to remove bacteria and plaque buildup. Deep cleanings are often split up into multiple appointments.

We’d love to care for your little one! The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that children have their first dental checkup by the age of 1 or within 6 months after the first tooth erupts, whichever comes first. Learn more about our children’s dentistry services.
