Routine dental hygiene exams are the foundation of a healthy smile. At Smiley Dental Group, our experienced team, alongside Dr. Holowcki, Dr. Moore, and Dr. Renshaw, provides thorough teeth cleanings and oral health exams to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues before they start. Whether you’re in Columbus, Dublin, or Hilliard, our goal is to keep your teeth and gums healthy with expert care in a comfortable setting.

The Importance of Routine Dental Exams

Preventive dental care is not just about having a cleaner smile. It plays a major role in your overall health. The American Dental Association recommends regular dental visits to lower the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and even heart disease and diabetes.

During your dental hygiene exam, our team will:

Remove

plaque and
tartar buildup

Screen

for signs of oral cancer

Check

for gum disease, dry mouth, or bone loss

Provide

tips to improve your daily oral hygiene routine

By catching problems early, we can help you avoid more serious issues and more expensive treatments later on.

What Do We Look for During a Dental Exam?

Your comprehensive exam is where your dentist takes a closer look at your overall oral health. Think of this as your smile’s annual checkup — a chance to uncover anything that might be developing beneath the surface.
During your exam, we’ll assess:

Cavities or areas of decay

Gum health and any signs of periodontal disease

Oral tissues for abnormalities or oral cancer

Bone structure and evidence of teeth grinding or TMJ concerns

Any changes in your bite or overall dental condition

Digital X-rays may also be taken to identify issues that aren’t visible to the naked eye.
