Dr. Quang Luong offers professional dental cleanings and exams in Temple, Texas, to help you maintain a healthy smile and prevent oral health issues. Regular cleanings and exams are essential for removing plaque and tartar, detecting potential problems early and keeping your teeth and gums in optimal condition. Our dentist and team are dedicated to providing gentle, thorough care to patients of all ages, helping you achieve long-term oral health.

Why Are Dental Cleanings and Exams Important?

Even with consistent brushing and flossing, plaque can build up in hard-to-reach areas of the mouth. Over time, this plaque hardens into tartar, which can only be removed by a dental professional. If left untreated, tartar can lead to gum disease, cavities and other oral health concerns. Regular dental exams also allow us to detect any issues early, preventing more complex treatments down the road.

Cleanings and exams are not just about oral health – they also support overall wellness. Research has shown that gum disease is linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes, making routine dental care an essential part of a healthy lifestyle.

 

What to Expect During Your Appointment

  1. Comprehensive Exam: We will examine your teeth, gums and mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease or other issues. X-rays may be taken if needed to detect problems below the surface.
