How often should I get a dental exam and cleaning?

Most patients should have a professional exam and cleaning every 6 months. Patients with a history of gum disease, high cavity risk, or other dental issues may benefit from more frequent visits (every 3–4 months).

What is included in a comprehensive dental exam?

A comprehensive exam includes: visual examination of all teeth and soft tissues, periodontal probing to assess gum health, X-rays (if not taken recently), oral cancer screening, and a treatment plan discussion.

Can I get a filling and a cleaning in the same visit?

Yes. We can often complete multiple procedures in a single visit to maximize your time in Los Algodones. Many patients have their exam, cleaning, X-rays, and any needed fillings done in one appointment.

Do you accept US dental insurance?

We are not in-network with US insurance plans, but we provide detailed receipts and treatment documentation that you can submit to your insurance company for out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients receive partial reimbursement from their insurance.
