Dental Checkups & Cleanings – Newton, MA
The First Stop on Your Journey to Better Oral Health
Keeping teeth and gums healthy requires more than daily brushing and flossing. Practicing good at-home oral hygiene habits is important, but not all plaque and tartar can be removed with standard cleaning practices. At Beverly Farms Dental, we use professional instruments to not only clear away harmful debris and bacteria from your mouth but also examine the areas above and below the gumline to determine if additional treatment is required. As a result, you can walk away knowing your smile is in the best possible shape, so if it has been more than six months since your last dental checkup and cleaning in Newton, call to schedule an appointment today.

Why are Regular Dental Checkups & Cleanings Important?
You might believe that if you are not in any pain, there is no reason to schedule a dental checkup and cleaning with your dentist. Living with this mindset can lead to serious problems that only require more time and money to fix. This can include dental emergencies, like chipped or knocked-out teeth, or issues developing throughout the body that are related to problems that can start in the mouth (i.e., diabetes, heart disease, etc.).
An examination and cleaning every six months allow us to detect early signs of cavities, gum disease, and even oral cancer, which can minimize the need for more extensive restorative care. These visits also allow you to save on dental expenses, as most insurance companies provide 80-100% coverage for preventive care.
What to Expect During a Dental Checkup
After being escorted to a treatment room by a member of our Beverly Farms Dental team, you will have digital images taken of your mouth, allowing us to see the status of your smile above and below the gumline. You will then be met by one of our dentists, who will greet you and begin conducting a thorough examination of your teeth and gums. In addition, they will review digital scans and photos to determine the state of your oral health.
Based on our findings, we may suggest additional treatment to remove any cavities, infections, or decay. We might also recommend other restorative (or cosmetic) services should we believe them to be helpful to the health and aesthetics of your smile.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning
After meeting with one of our dentists, a qualified dental hygienist will begin the process of cleaning your teeth using only the best dental instruments. With careful precision, we will move along your gumline to remove any plaque and tartar as well as between teeth. Depending on the amount of buildup, this process may take additional time.
Once your teeth are polished and rinsed, we will provide additional tips you can use at home to improve your oral hygiene routine.
