Dental Cleanings & Exams in Evansville, IN
Routine Dental Cleanings for a Healthier Smile
At TriState Family Dental Centers, we provide comprehensive dental cleanings and exams to help you maintain optimal oral health at every stage of life. Our experienced dental team offers gentle yet thorough teeth cleaning services that remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains while evaluating your mouth for early signs of dental issues.
Whether it’s your first visit or part of your ongoing care, regular dental cleanings are one of the most important ways to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health complications. We proudly serve patients of all ages at our East and North Evansville locations.
What to Expect During a Dental Cleaning & Exam
Our professional dental cleanings typically last around 60 minutes and include the following:
- Scaling and polishing to remove plaque and hardened tartar above and below the gum line
- Fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel and reduce cavity risk (especially for children and teens)
- Digital X-rays when needed to detect issues beneath the surface
- Oral health assessment including a dental exam by one of our experienced dentists
- Oral cancer screening as part of your routine checkup
After your cleaning, we’ll discuss personalized recommendations and answer any questions you have about maintaining your oral health between visits.
Why Are Regular Dental Exams Important?
Dental exams do more than assess the condition of your teeth — they provide early detection of serious issues like:
- Gum disease (gingivitis and periodontitis)
- Cavities and worn enamel
- Oral infections or abscesses
- TMJ problems and jaw alignment issues
- Early signs of oral cancer
By scheduling dental cleanings every six months, you can avoid more costly and invasive treatments down the road. If you’re experiencing discomfort, we also provide emergency dental care and dental fillings to restore function and comfort.
Caring for Smiles of All Ages
From a child's first tooth to senior dental care, our team provides age-appropriate services and advice tailored to each stage of life. We also offer children’s dentistry that focuses on preventive care, oral hygiene education, and creating a positive dental experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Most patients benefit from a professional cleaning every six months. However, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits based on your oral health condition.
Do dental cleanings hurt?
Routine cleanings are generally pain-free. If you have sensitivity or gum inflammation, our hygienists will take extra care to make the process as comfortable as possible.
Are exams included with cleanings?
Yes. Every cleaning visit includes a full dental exam to check for cavities, gum health, bite issues, and more.
Do kids need dental cleanings?
Absolutely. Children should begin routine cleanings by their first birthday or within six months of their first tooth coming in. We provide gentle, age-appropriate care for young patients.
What happens if I skip cleanings?
Delaying or skipping cleanings can lead to plaque buildup, gum disease, and other dental problems that require more complex treatments. Regular visits keep your smile healthy and your treatment costs down.
