Six-Month Teeth Cleanings & Oral Exams

Six-month checkups are the cornerstone of general dentistry in Denver from Ascent Dental Group. They allow Dr. Johnston and our team to track your dental health over time, and recognize the early signs of potential issues like gum disease and tooth decay.

By seeing us for a dental exam every six months, you can reduce your risk of these oral health issues, save time and money, and get peace of mind. Dental exams in Denver from Ascent Dental Group consist of:

• Teeth cleaning – A hygienist will scrape away tartar from your teeth, polish them, and floss them to remove any remaining debris.
  
• Oral exam – Dr. Johnston will examine your teeth and gums to look for any signs of oral health issues and ensure you’re free of gum disease and tooth decay.
  
• X-rays – X-rays are usually taken every year to check for hidden oral health issues. We use the latest digital x-ray technology.
  
• Oral cancer screening – Dr. Johnston will look for signs of oral cancer during your exam. Oral cancer is a rare condition, but often goes unnoticed unless it’s recognized by a dentist.
