Dentist Lake Jackson

In general, you should get a cleaning and exam every six months. These visits allow your dentist to remove buildup, check for early signs of dental problems, and keep your teeth and gums healthy. Dr. Elrod may recommend more frequent visits based on your specific needs.

A dental exam includes a visual inspection of your teeth, gums, and mouth, as well as digital imaging to check for hidden problems. We also screen for oral cancer and evaluate your bite, ensuring your oral health is fully assessed.

Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that can’t be eliminated with regular brushing and flossing. This helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath, while also keeping your smile bright and healthy.
