Routine teeth cleanings are an important part of maintaining your oral health throughout your life. For over 30 years, Honolulu’s Dentaworks Hawaii has been committed to providing comprehensive and gentle dental care for patients of all ages. Whether you need general services like a biannual cleaning or cosmetic dentistry services like teeth whitening, you can count on Dr. Douglas Chang, D.D.S. and his team to help you create the strong, healthy smile of your dreams.

Between school, work, and recreational activities, families are busier than ever – and that can make it hard to fit teeth cleanings into your schedule. These cleanings give your dentist a chance to inspect your teeth and gums and identify potential issues before they become serious health problems. The American Dental Association recommends visiting the dentist at least once a year depending on your oral health, and some insurance companies will cover two teeth cleanings per year. Check your insurance policy to find out how many visits are covered under your plan.

The easiest way to make sure your family gets the teeth cleanings and examinations they need is to schedule the appointments in advance. Before you leave the office after your most recent exam, talk to the receptionist to find out which dates are available for your next recommended visit. Planning ahead offers both you and your dentist the greatest flexibility and makes it easier to reschedule in case of a conflict or emergency. Some families may find it easier to book their children’s teeth cleanings on the same day to avoid scheduling conflicts with school or other activities. After confirming your appointment and marking it on your calendar, you will have a visual reminder that you cannot schedule anything else for that time.
