Dental Cleanings & Exams

Routine dental cleanings and exams are a cornerstone of maintaining your oral health. At Sunrise Dental Studio in Pasadena, Maryland, Dr. Afshin Nateghi and our team provide thorough professional cleanings and comprehensive exams designed to help identify potential concerns early and keep your teeth and gums in good condition. We generally recommend scheduling a cleaning and exam every six months, though your individual needs may vary.

During a professional cleaning, our dental hygienist carefully removes plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, including areas that are difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing at home. Your teeth are then polished to help remove surface stains. While daily brushing and flossing are essential, professional cleanings address buildup that everyday oral hygiene alone may not fully manage.

The exam portion of your visit allows Dr. Nateghi to evaluate your overall oral health. This includes checking for signs of tooth decay, gum disease and other conditions. We may also take digital X-rays to get a more detailed view of your teeth, jawbone and surrounding structures. Early detection of dental issues can make treatment simpler and may help you avoid more involved procedures later on.

Your visit is also a good opportunity to discuss preventive treatments such as fluoride treatments or dental sealants, which may help protect your teeth between visits. We also perform oral cancer screenings as part of our commitment to your overall well-being. Our team is happy to answer any questions you have about your oral health and help you develop a home care routine that works for you.
