Routine care is the best dentistry
Even with great brushing and flossing habits, plaque hardens into tartar that only a professional cleaning can remove — and that buildup is the starting point for most cavities and gum problems.
Regular teeth cleanings and dental exams help us catch small issues before they become big ones:
- Early decay — treated before it needs a filling or root canal
- Gum inflammation — reversed before it progresses to gum disease
- Worn enamel and grinding damage — spotted before teeth crack or chip
- Bite and gum changes — monitored visit to visit
Every routine dental checkup at TrueCare also includes an oral cancer screening and a gum health check, because prevention means looking at more than just your teeth. Catching problems early usually means simpler, more affordable care.
Six months goes by fast — and if it’s been longer, there’s no judgment here. Wherever you’re starting from, the best time for your next teeth cleaning in Cary is now.
Your questions, answered
How often should I have a dental cleaning?
Most people benefit from a professional cleaning every 6 months. Regular visits help remove buildup you can’t reach at home and allow us to spot any concerns early.
What’s included in a dental exam?
Your exam includes checking for cavities, gum health, bite alignment, and signs of oral cancer. We’ll also review your oral hygiene habits and offer tips to keep your smile healthy between visits.
Will a dental cleaning hurt?
Most patients find the process comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know so we can make adjustments to keep you at ease.
How long does a teeth cleaning and exam take?
Plan for about 45–60 minutes. That gives us time for a thorough cleaning, a complete exam, and any questions you have without ever feeling rushed.
What's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar above the gumline and is part of routine preventive care. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats buildup below the gumline when gum disease is present. If you need one, we’ll explain why and what to expect.
How much does a dental cleaning cost without insurance?
It depends on whether x-rays or other services are included in your visit. Call us at (919) 859-1330 and we’ll walk you through pricing and payment options before you book.
Do I need dental x-rays at every visit?
No. We take them based on your individual needs and history; typically, once a year for most healthy patients. Our digital x-rays use significantly less radiation than traditional film.
What can I do between visits to prevent cavities and gum disease?
Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, floss daily, and limit sugary drinks and snacks. At your visit, we’ll give you tips tailored to your teeth — like spots you might be missing or whether an electric toothbrush would help.

A Smile That Lasts

How often should you get a dental checkup?
For most patients, a professional cleaning and exam every 6 months is the sweet spot for preventing cavities and gum disease. But routine care isn’t one-size-fits-all. If you have a history of gum disease, diabetes, heavy tartar buildup, or you’re prone to cavities, we may recommend visits every 3–4 months to stay ahead of problems.
