A lot of dental problems don’t come with flashing warning signs — they tend to sneak up quietly, without pain or obvious symptoms. That’s why regular dental checkups are such a big deal. During your comprehensive exam at Dental Depot in Midwest City, our team keeps a close eye out for early signs of trouble, including:
The earlier we catch something, the easier — and often less expensive — it is to treat. Regular dental exams don’t just keep your smile strong; they play a key role in your overall health, too.
Even if you’re a brushing and flossing pro at home, there are places that only a professional cleaning can reach. Over time, plaque can harden into tartar — and once it does, you need a skilled hygienist to safely remove it.
At Dental Depot in Midwest City, your teeth cleaning appointment does more than just leave your smile feeling fresh — it’s a key part of keeping your mouth healthy. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:

Stain Removal & Polishing: Stains from coffee, tea, or tobacco? We’ve got you covered. We’ll polish your teeth to help them look and feel their best.
Gum Health Check: We’ll measure your gum pockets to catch any early signs of gum disease before they become serious.
Fluoride Treatment (if needed): A quick fluoride application helps strengthen enamel and add extra protection against cavities.
At-Home Care Tips: You’ll leave with helpful, personalized tips to improve your brushing and flossing routine, plus product suggestions to keep things on track.
Most cleanings take about 45 minutes to an hour, depending on your needs. By the time you walk out, your smile will feel polished — and you’ll have the tools and know-how to keep it that way.

Regular dental checkups and cleanings provide an array of benefits to your oral and overall health. Routine visits allow your dentist to address any concerns in a timely manner, so little problems don’t become big problems, and to minimize any plaque or bacteria accumulation, which could cause complications in the future like cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease.
The American Dental Association recommends most people visit the dentist every 6 months for a check-up and cleaning. During these visits, a dental hygienist will professionally clean your teeth to remove any plaque or tartar that has accumulated or developed, and a dentist will examine your teeth, mouth, and tongue for any signs of tooth decay, infection, or other health concern. If you have significant problems with your oral health, such as gum disease or severe tooth decay, your dentist may recommend that you come in more frequently so they can monitor and treat your condition.
With Saturday and evening appointments available at many of our Dental Depot Oklahoma locations, we make it easy for you and your family to get the care you need when it works for you, and our ample office space allows us to see everyone in your family at the same time. You can even schedule your next appointment prior to leaving our office.
On average, a dental checkup or cleaning lasts between 30 and 60 minutes. During a checkup or cleaning, a dental hygienist will professionally clean and floss your teeth and the dentist will examine your oral hygiene and assess your risk for oral cancer. The purpose of a dental cleaning is to remove plaque and tartar–which build up and cannot be cleaned with brushing alone–and identify any signs of tooth decay, infection, or other problems like bone loss. The exact length of your appointment will depend on factors like how long it takes the hygienist to clean your teeth, if you are having any x-rays, and if you are receiving any additional treatments such as fluoride. Additionally, many Dental Depot Oklahoma locations offer assisted hygiene–providing hygienists with an extra set of hands to get your teeth prepped and ready to clean.
Dental cleanings are a gentle and non-invasive preventative measure to preserve and maintain gum and tooth health. Usually when one refers to a cleaning it is a prophylaxis dental cleaning, which is intended to prevent cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease from developing. Deep cleaning, on the other hand, is used to treat gum disease by removing bacteria that has formed under infected gum tissue. Dental deep cleaning is also commonly referred to as scaling and root planing. No matter what type of cleaning you receive, all cleanings have the same purpose of removing debris and increasing oral health and overall wellbeing.
Generally speaking, a dental cleaning, dental exam, and dental checkup all happen at the same time during your bi-annual visit to the dentist. The dental cleaning portion of your visit is when the hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and debris from your teeth and gums, professionally brushes them with a strong toothpaste, and flosses them. The dental exam, or dental checkup, is when the dentist assesses your oral health by evaluating each tooth, assessing your gum health, and evaluating your risk for oral cancer.
You and your family can receive all of these services and more at Dental Depot Oklahoma, where we make it easy and convenient to get the affordable care you need for a healthy smile.
