Cleanings & Exams FAQs

How often should I get a cleaning?

Most people should have a cleaning and exam every six months. Some patients benefit from more frequent visits, and we'll recommend the right schedule for you.

Do you see children?

Yes, we welcome patients of all ages and love making kids feel comfortable. Early, gentle visits help children build healthy habits for life.

Are dental X-rays safe?

Yes, modern digital X-rays use very low radiation and help us catch problems you can't see. We only take them when they're truly helpful.

How much does a cleaning and exam cost?

It depends on your needs and whether X-rays are taken, and we'll go over costs beforehand. Call (209) 749-1444 to schedule your family's visits.
