Cleanings and checkups, for teens and adults

Regular cleanings and exams catch small problems before they turn into big ones. We see teens and adults, Monday through Thursday.

Overview

What happens at a checkup?

A checkup at The Dental Studio of Midland includes a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar, an exam of your teeth, gums and bite, and digital X-rays when they're due. We also check for signs of gum disease and look for anything unusual in your mouth, so problems can be treated while they're small. We see teens and adults, and sealants and fluoride are available for teens when they'll help.

Time to book if you...

Most people do best with regular checkups. We'll recommend how often based on your oral health.

  • Are overdue for a cleaning or exam
  • Notice bleeding when you brush or floss
  • Are new to Midland and need a dentist
  • Have a teen who needs a checkup, sealants or fluoride

    Removes plaque and tartar buildup and polishes your teeth.

  • Exam

    A check of your teeth, gums and bite, including an oral pathology exam.

  • Digital X-Rays

    Taken when they're due, to find problems an exam alone can't see.

  • Sealants

    A thin protective coating on the chewing surfaces of back teeth that helps keep cavities out, often recommended for teens.

  • Fluoride

    A fluoride treatment that helps strengthen tooth enamel, often recommended for teens.

Why regular cleanings matter

  • Removes plaque and tartar that brushing misses
  • Catches cavities and gum disease early, when they're easier to treat

  • Oral pathology exams to catch abnormalities early
  • Sealants and fluoride for teens
