Why Regular Dental Cleanings & Exams Are Essential for a Healthy Smile in Shelby Township
Preventive dentistry is the foundation of lasting oral health. At Pearly Smile Dental Studio in Shelby Township, MI, we believe that regular cleanings and exams are the most important steps you can take to maintain a healthy smile, prevent dental problems, and catch issues early—before they become painful or expensive.
What Happens During a Dental Cleaning?
1. Plaque & Tartar Removal
Your hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar from your teeth using advanced instruments. Even with excellent brushing, tartar forms in hard-to-reach areas and must be professionally removed.
2. Flossing & Polishing
We floss between every tooth and polish your enamel to remove surface stains from coffee, tea, soda, and everyday buildup.
3. Gum Health Check
We examine your gums for signs of gingivitis, bleeding, or inflammation—early warnings of gum disease.
4. Fluoride Treatment (Optional)
A fluoride varnish strengthens enamel and reduces sensitivity, especially helpful for children or patients prone to cavities.
What Happens During a Dental Exam?
Digital X-Rays
We use low-radiation digital X-rays to detect decay, infections, bone loss, or impacted teeth.
Tooth-by-Tooth Exam
Your dentist checks each tooth for:
- Decay
- Cracks
- Old fillings
- Tooth wear
- Sensitivity
Gum Evaluation
We measure pocket depths to monitor for periodontal disease.
Oral Cancer Screening
Every exam includes a free screening to detect early signs of abnormalities.
Why You Need Cleanings Every 6 Months
Even if your teeth feel fine, bacteria continue to accumulate. Regular visits help prevent:
- Gum disease
- Cavities
- Bad breath
- Stained teeth
- Tooth loss
- Painful emergencies
Preventive care saves patients hundreds—or thousands—of dollars over a lifetime.

I had an exceptional experience at Pearly Smile Dental Studio in Shelby Township during my very first visit, and I can’t say enough good things about the team, especially the office manager, Dorene. From the moment I walked in, Dorene went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She worked tirelessly to help me with my insurance, patiently answered all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process.Dorene’s kindness was further demonstrated when she realized I had driven over an hour from Downriver. Knowing that I needed to see a specialist as well, she immediately contacted a nearby recommended office and arranged for me to have the option to see them the same day. This extra effort meant I could get the most out of my drive, and I was so grateful for that.I chose this office after carefully reading reviews, as I’ve had less-than-perfect experiences at other dental offices over the years. With my dental issues and family history, I had very little faith in finding a trustworthy practice. But Pearly Smile Dental Studio—and especially Dorene—made me feel 100% different. I truly recommend them to anyone looking for a place where they will feel valued and well cared for.
