Dental Exams & Cleanings in Billings, MT
Routine dental exams and cleanings are essential to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. The American Dental Association recommends visiting the dentist every six months to keep your smile healthy.
What to Expect:
- A thorough exam of your teeth and gums
- Digital X-rays to spot concerns early
- A professional cleaning to remove tartar and stains
- Fluoride treatments if needed for added protection
Regular visits not only protect your health but also save time and money by reducing the risk of costly dental procedures.
Scaling & Root Planing for Gum Disease
If you are showing early signs of gum disease, our team may recommend scaling and root planing — a gentle, non-surgical treatment that deep cleans below the gumline.
Benefits:
- Removes plaque and tartar buildup
- Helps gums reattach to teeth
- Reduces gum inflammation and bleeding
Some mild soreness afterward is normal, but your gums can return to a healthy, firm state with proper home care and regular visits.
Fluoride Treatments for Stronger Teeth
Fluoride is a naturally occurring mineral proven to strengthen enamel and prevent cavities. While it’s present in drinking water, many children and adults benefit from additional fluoride treatments at the dentist.
Why Choose Fluoride Treatments:
- Strengthens teeth and reverses early decay
- Prevents cavities in both kids and adults
- Quick, painless, and safe
Your dentist may recommend fluoride every 6–12 months depending on your risk of cavities.
Oral Cancer Screenings
Every exam at Brewer Dental Center includes an oral cancer screening. Early detection is critical — when caught early, oral cancer is highly treatable.
Key Risk Factors:
- Tobacco use (smoking or chewing)
- Heavy alcohol use
- HPV infection
If we notice unusual tissue changes, we may recommend further testing to ensure your long-term health.
