Dental Exams & Cleanings
A regular visit should leave you informed, comfortable, and clear about your next step.

Care explained, without the pressure.
Routine exams help us track changes in your teeth and gums. Cleanings address buildup that home care may miss. Your visit is shaped by your history, your current health, and any concerns you bring in.
Digital X-rays, oral cancer screening, and fluoride recommendations may be part of preventive visits when appropriate. If gum disease is present, a routine cleaning may not be the right type of care; we will explain the difference before proceeding.

Good to know before you go.
We would rather give you clear answers than leave you guessing. Call us if your question is more specific.
How often should I schedule a dental exam?
The right interval depends on your oral health and risk factors. Dr. Wolkoff will recommend a schedule after seeing you.
Are X-rays always needed?
Not at every visit. Imaging is recommended based on your history, symptoms, and clinical findings.
