Frequently Asked Questions
What Does a Dental Cleaning in Troutman, NC Include?
A dental cleaning typically includes scaling to remove tartar, polishing to brighten teeth, a gum evaluation, and a dental exam. X-rays may be taken depending on how long it has been since your last set.
How Long Does a Routine Dental Cleaning Take?
Most routine cleanings take about 45 to 60 minutes. Your visit may take a little longer if X-rays are scheduled or if additional areas need attention.
How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?
Most patients benefit from a cleaning every six months. Some individuals, especially those managing early gum disease or with a history of heavier buildup, may benefit from more frequent visits. Dr. Flerra can recommend a schedule based on your specific oral health needs.
Do I Still Need Cleanings if I Don't Have Dental Insurance?
Yes. Skipping a cleaning to avoid costs can lead to larger, more expensive issues later on. If you do not have dental insurance, we encourage you to contact our office directly to ask about your options. Preventive care is almost always less costly than restorative treatment, and our team is happy to work with you to keep your smile healthy. Request a free consultation by calling (704) 878-6543.
Will a Dental Cleaning Help With Gum Disease?
A routine cleaning can help prevent early-stage gum disease and is often the first step in treating gingivitis. Patients with more advanced periodontal concerns may need a deeper cleaning, such as scaling and root planing. Learn more on our Gum Disease Treatment page.
Can I Get a Dental Cleaning Without X-Rays?
It depends on your situation and how recently X-rays were taken. Dr. Flerra may recommend X-rays on a periodic basis as part of a complete dental exam, but your hygienist can discuss what is appropriate for your visit.
Does Dr. Flerra Accept Patients from Troutman, NC?
Yes. James J. Flerra, DDS PA serves patients from Troutman, Statesville, and surrounding Iredell County communities. Our office is conveniently located in Statesville and welcomes new patients from across the area.
