Keep Your Smile Healthy with Routine Preventative Dentistry
Routine dental cleanings and exams are the foundation of long-term oral health. At One Dental Studio in Davie, FL, we believe that preventative dentistry is the most effective way to protect your smile, avoid costly dental issues, and maintain overall wellness. Our cleanings are gentle, thorough, and personalized to your needs — whether you're visiting for your biannual check-up or returning after a lapse in care.
Why Dental Cleanings Matter
Even with excellent brushing and flossing at home, plaque and tartar can still build up in hard-to-reach areas. Dental cleanings remove these deposits before they cause cavities, gum disease, or tooth loss. During your cleaning appointment, our team also examines your mouth for signs of:
- Tooth decay
- Gum inflammation or infection
- Oral cancer or tissue abnormalities
- Worn or damaged dental restorations
- Bite or alignment changes
Professional cleanings, combined with routine exams, allow us to catch small issues before they become major problems — which is the goal of preventative dental care.
What’s Included in a Preventative Visit
At One Dental Studio, our preventative care appointments are designed to be comprehensive, efficient, and comfortable. Your visit may include:
- Thorough dental cleaning
We gently remove plaque and tartar using specialized instruments and polish your teeth for a smooth, refreshed finish. - Digital X-rays (as needed)
Modern imaging helps us detect decay, infection, or bone loss that isn’t visible during the visual exam. - Oral health evaluation
Your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, bite, and jaw, and discuss any concerns or treatment recommendations. - Personalized hygiene guidance
We provide practical tips on brushing, flossing, nutrition, and habits that support long-term oral health. - Preventative treatments
Depending on your needs, we may recommend fluoride applications, sealants, or early interventions to prevent future issues.

Benefits of Preventative Dentistry
Preventative dentistry doesn’t just protect your teeth — it supports your total health. Research shows strong links between oral health and conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and stroke. By staying proactive with your care, you benefit from:
- Reduced risk of cavities and gum disease
- Early detection of oral cancer and systemic issues
- Less need for invasive or costly treatments
- Better breath and fresher feeling teeth
- Improved confidence in your smile
Preventative visits also give us a chance to update you on treatment options like cosmetic enhancements or restorative solutions, if needed.
How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?
Most patients benefit from dental cleanings and exams every six months. However, your frequency may vary depending on your oral health history, age, and risk factors. Patients with gum disease or other conditions may require visits every 3–4 months.
If it’s been a while since your last cleaning, we’ll help you get back on track without judgment. Our team is experienced in treating patients of all ages and comfort levels.
Pediatric Preventative Care
We also provide gentle, educational cleanings for children and teens as part of our children’s dentistry services. Early exposure to regular cleanings helps kids:
- Develop positive dental habits
- Avoid cavities and early gum issues
- Understand the importance of oral hygiene
- Build trust with their dentist from an early age

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I skip dental cleanings?
Missing regular cleanings can allow plaque and tartar to accumulate, which increases your risk for cavities, gum disease, and tooth loss. Preventive visits help stop these issues before they start.
Are dental cleanings painful?
Most patients experience no pain during cleanings. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know — we offer gentle techniques and numbing options if needed.
Is preventative care covered by insurance?
Yes, most dental insurance plans fully cover two cleanings and exams per year. Our team will help verify your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs.
Do you treat patients with gum disease?
Yes. If signs of gum disease are detected, we may recommend scaling and root planing (deep cleaning) or ongoing periodontal maintenance. Learn more on our periodontics page.
Can I combine my cleaning with other treatments?
Absolutely. If you’re due for fillings, whitening, or other services, we can often coordinate your cleaning with those treatments for added convenience.
