Cleanings and Exams
For most patients, we recommend scheduling a dental cleaning and exam every six months to help keep your smile healthy and prevent potential problems. These routine visits give Dr. Scott Howe and our team the opportunity to check your teeth and gums, remove plaque and tartar buildup, and catch any concerns early before they require more involved treatment.
Every smile is different, so your ideal cleaning schedule depends on your unique oral health needs. Some patients benefit from twice-yearly visits, while others may need more frequent care due to gum disease, a history of cavities, or other dental concerns. During your appointment, we take the time to understand your oral health and recommend a schedule that works best for you.

Regular dental cleanings and exams in Salem, OR, help you maintain a healthy smile and stay ahead of potential issues. We look for signs of cavities, gum disease, and other changes, and we provide personalized tips to help you care for your teeth between visits.
