Stay on Top of Dental Problems With Routine Exams

We emphasize preventive dentistry because we understand the importance of your oral health to the health of your whole body. If your mouth isn't healthy, it's hard for the rest of your body to be in good health. When you come to our office for a professional cleaning and dental exam, you can also take advantage of many other preventive services:

Damage Detection

What the eye can’t see, our digital X-rays can, helping us catch tooth decay in its earliest stages.

Dental Sealants

Shield your teeth with a layer of protection against decay and cavities for better oral health.

Fluoride Treatment 

Give your teeth a coating of fluoride to remineralize your tooth enamel and fight harmful oral bacteria.

Take Good Care of Your Smile With Our Other Services

If we do find any problems, we'll let you know about them and give you restorative or cosmetic options for handling them. Some commonly recommended treatments include:

  • Tooth Fillings - Our tooth-colored fillings won't stand out like traditional metal fillings will.
  • Gum Disease Treatment - We can deep clean your gums to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria. This allows your gums to begin healing.
  • Teeth Whitening - Our professional at-home whitening gives you the flexibility to brighten a dull smile whenever you want.

Schedule all your dental cleanings and exams in Tampa with our team. We look forward to helping you achieve a bright, healthy smile!

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings and Exams

Who performs dental cleanings and exams?

Your dentist and hygienist here at Doering Family Dental perform dental cleanings and examinations every day. We suggest you visit at least every six months so that we can keep an eye on your oral health and offer early treatment as needed. We provide a range of other dental treatments, also, consisting of restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, Invisalign orthodontics, and much more.

Why should I get a dental exam if I’m not in pain?

If you wait until you are in pain, you already have a serious problem. On top of that, not all dental problems cause pain. By getting regular exams, you get the benefit of having dental professionals look at your mouth. We can identify potential problems or catch them in the early stages. That allows us to fix them before you may need expensive and invasive treatments.

Do dental checkups include oral cancer screenings?

Yes. Dental checkups typically involve a thorough cleaning, comprehensive exam, and dental X-rays to look for signs of problems like tooth decay or gum disease; an oral cancer screening; and time with your dentist to talk about any current or potential oral health issues that need to be addressed.

I had a broken molar and they got me in quickly for an exam. Even though the initial visit was just for an assessment, the doctor took pity on me and squeezed me into the schedule and fitted me for a temporary crown on the spot. I can't thank him enough. Several years ago he fitted me with a different crown and it has also held up perfectly.
