General Dentistry Procedures
Cleanings and Exams
Tartar, tooth decay, and other dental issues can easily develop unnoticed even for those with the best oral hygiene practices. Regular dental cleanings and exams eliminate tartar and allow your dentist to catch any issues that may surface in the earliest stages, when they are easiest and most affordable to treat. This benefits your overall health, as the bacteria in plaque and tarter can cause gum disease, which has been linked to heart disease and other serious health conditions. Dental sealants can be applied to prevent decay, and fluoride treatments can help protect teeth against acid and bacteria. This is also a good time to discuss any oral issues or cosmetic dentistry questions you may have with your dentist.
Oral Cancer Screening
Identifying any signs of oral cancer early is essential to your well-being. It is recommended that patients are screened annually for oral cancer. Unlike most other oral health issues, cancer symptoms may not be noticeable until the disease has progressed. Catching oral cancer early can often prevent the cancer from spreading. We can conduct a visual oral cancer screening at your next visit to ensure your health is in good standing.

Frequently Asked Questions About General Dentistry in Charlotte, NC
How often should I schedule a dental cleaning and exam?
Most people should visit the dentist every six months. That said, if you have a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or other ongoing concerns, you may need to come in more often. Your dentist will recommend a schedule that makes sense for your individual oral health needs.
Do you treat children?
Yes! Porter Dental Group welcomes patients of all ages, including children. Establishing good dental habits early makes a big difference in long-term oral health. Our team goes above and beyond to make younger patients feel at ease in the chair. Reach out today to request a pediatric dental exam in Charlotte.
What's included in a dental exam?
Our comprehensive exams typically include a review of X-rays, screening for cavities and signs of gum disease, an oral cancer screening, and an evaluation of a patient's bite and any existing restorations. If you’re interested in treatments beyond general dentistry, it’s also a great opportunity to learn about cosmetic and restorative treatments directly from our dentists.
What if I haven't been to the dentist in a long time?
It happens, and we don’t judge. Our team will warmly welcome you regardless of how long it’s been. We’ll start with a thorough exam to understand where things stand, then build a plan at a pace that works for you.
