Dental Cleanings & Exams
Achieve and Maintain Excellent Oral Health with Routine Dental Exams and Cleanings
Dental exams and regular cleanings are the cornerstone of preventative dental care, and are necessary to ensure optimal oral health. When combined with proper at-home care, exams and cleanings can be very effective at preventing oral health issues such as periodontal disease and tooth loss. At Hellertown Dental, our team recommends scheduling an exam every six months. During these regular exams and cleanings, we can eliminate plaque, prevent decay, and examine your gums, cheeks, lips, and mouth for any early signs of gum disease or oral cancer.

Why do I need an exam and cleaning?
Dental exams and dental cleanings are necessary if you are going to maintain a healthy mouth. Brushing, flossing, and using fluoride mouthwash on your own is needed, but it’s not enough. Material builds up in your mouth that only a professional cleaning will be able to remove. A cleaning and exam from Hellertown Dental Group also allows Hellertown, PA dentist Dr. Hunsicker-Morrissey the opportunity to see what is going on with your teeth and gums. You may be developing problems that you don’t even know about, such as gum disease. Getting the proper treatment as quickly as you can is crucial to keeping your teeth and entire mouth healthy. Regular dental exams and dental cleanings from Hellertown Dental Group do just that.
What goes on during an exam and cleaning?
Your dental exams and dental cleanings are a pretty straightforward process. You will come into the office, and if it is your first time, you will fill out the new patient paperwork. You can save yourself the hassle by printing the forms out and bringing them with you. This will also speed up the check-in process. Once your paperwork has been handed in, you will go back to one of our comfortable dental exams rooms. A member of our highly qualified dental hygiene team will join you and give your teeth a thorough dental cleaning and examination. They will look over your mouth and note any area of concern.
Top-notch Hellertown, PA dentist Dr. Hunsicker-Morrissey will come in after your teeth have been cleaned to give you a more thorough examination.

Cancer is a scary thing, and we want to make sure that if you are starting to develop it, we can get you treated as soon as possible.
