Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months. Patients with gum disease or higher cavity risk may need cleanings every three to four months. Dr. Pybus will recommend a schedule tailored to your needs.
Dental Cleaning and Exams in Amarillo, TX
Regular dental cleanings and exams are the foundation of lasting oral health. At Pybus Dental in Amarillo, Texas, Dr. Charles Pybus and our hygiene team provide thorough professional cleanings and comprehensive exams designed to catch problems early, before they become costly or painful.
During your visit, we remove plaque and tartar buildup that brushing and flossing alone cannot eliminate, check for early signs of decay and gum disease, perform an oral cancer screening, and take digital x-rays when needed to see what is happening below the surface.
What Happens During Your Dental Exam
Dr. Pybus personally evaluates your teeth, gums, bite, and existing restorations at every exam. He checks for cavities, cracks, wear patterns, and signs of gum disease. If he finds anything that needs attention, he will explain your options clearly and help you decide on the best course of action. There are no surprises and no pressure.
Professional Teeth Cleaning
Our skilled hygienists use gentle techniques to remove plaque and calculus from above and below the gumline, polish your teeth to remove surface stains, and provide personalized oral hygiene guidance to help you maintain your results between visits. For patients with gum disease, we may recommend scaling and root planing or periodontal maintenance instead of a standard cleaning.
How Often Should You Visit
Most patients benefit from dental cleanings and exams every six months. However, patients with a history of gum disease, high cavity risk, or certain health conditions may need more frequent visits. Dr. Pybus will recommend a schedule tailored to your individual needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
A standard cleaning removes plaque and tartar above and just below the gumline. A deep cleaning, called scaling and root planing, goes further below the gumline to treat gum disease by removing bacteria from periodontal pockets.
Digital x-rays are taken as needed based on your dental history and current condition. Most patients receive a full set every two to three years and bitewing x-rays annually, but Dr. Pybus will only recommend x-rays when they are clinically necessary.
