Cleanings & Checkups

Cleanings & Checkups
in Shavano Park

A healthy smile begins with consistency, and nothing is more foundational to your oral health than regular dental cleanings and checkups. At Park Hill Dental, we generally recommend that patients visit us at least once every six months for routine check-ups. 

 

Routine appointments aren’t just about polishing teeth. They’re about identifying minor issues early, protecting your overall health, and maintaining a strong smile for years to come. Whether you’re booking for yourself, your child, or a loved one with special care needs, we’re proud to provide gentle, thorough dental care for patients of all ages.

What Is a
Dental Cleaning?

A dental cleaning is a professional service that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your teeth, particularly in areas your toothbrush can’t reach. It’s one of the most effective ways to prevent tooth decay and gum disease.

 

At Park Hill Dental, we offer different types of cleanings tailored to your needs:

 

  • Standard Dental Cleaning: Ideal for maintaining healthy gums and an essential part of your regular checkup
  • Deep Cleaning: Recommended for patients showing signs of gum disease, such as bleeding, swelling, or pocketing around the teeth

 

No matter where you’re starting from, our team will meet you with compassion, not judgment.

What Happens During Checkups?

What Happens
During Checkups?

A dental checkup goes beyond cleaning. It’s a complete assessment of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. During your visit, Dr. Mijares and our team will carefully examine your mouth for signs of cavities, gum disease, bite issues, or abnormalities.

 

Depending on your age, medical history, and risk factors, we may also recommend fluoride treatment to strengthen enamel, dental sealants to protect back teeth in kids or cavity-prone adults, oral cancer screenings for peace of mind, and digital X-Rays to see what’s happening below the surface. 

 

Bottom line, our approach is always personalized. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all dentistry, only care that fits you. Our approach is always personalized. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all dentistry—only care that fits you.
