Why Regular Dental Cleanings and Exams Are Essential
Even the most diligent brusher and flosser cannot remove all plaque and tartar buildup at home. Over time, deposits harden below the gumline where only professional instruments can reach. A routine dental cleaning at our Pace, FL office removes that buildup before it leads to cavities, gum disease, or tooth loss.
Our comprehensive exams go hand in hand with your cleaning. During each visit, our team carefully evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and oral tissues for early warning signs of decay, periodontal disease, oral cancer, and other concerns. Catching problems early means simpler, less costly treatment, and a healthier smile for years to come. We recommend most patients visit every six months, though some individuals may benefit from more frequent care depending on their dental history and risk factors.

What Happens During Your Visit at Advanced Dental Concepts
Review of Health History
Before we begin, we take a few minutes to review your dental and medical history. Any changes to medications, health conditions, or concerns since your last visit help us tailor your care from the start.
1
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Our hygienist uses specialized instruments to remove hardened tartar and plaque buildup from all tooth surfaces, including below the gumline where brushing and flossing cannot reach. Teeth are then polished to eliminate surface stains and flossed to clear debris from between every tooth.
2
Digital X-Rays (As Needed)
X-rays are taken based on your individual risk level and how long it has been since your last images. Our digital X-ray system uses significantly less radiation than traditional film and gives our team a detailed view of what is happening beneath the surface.
3
Comprehensive Exam
Our team examines your teeth for decay, evaluates your gum health with periodontal measurements, checks your bite and jaw alignment, and reviews any existing restorations such as fillings or crowns.
4
Oral Cancer Screening
We visually and manually examine the lips, tongue, cheeks, floor of the mouth, palate, and throat for any unusual sores, patches, or tissue changes. This quick, painless check is included at every visit.

Review and Recommendations
Before you leave, we walk you through our findings in plain language and answer any questions you have. If any treatment is recommended, we explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision at your own pace.
