For most patients, a professional cleaning and exam every six months is the clinical standard — and the schedule Dr. Holleman recommends for the majority of her Broken Arrow patients. However, patients with a history of gum disease, high cavity risk, or certain systemic conditions like diabetes may benefit from visits every three to four months to stay ahead of accelerated bacterial activity.
Dr. Holleman conducts a full clinical examination that includes checking every tooth surface for decay, assessing gum pocket depths, reviewing updated X-rays for bone levels and hidden pathology, and performing a soft-tissue oral cancer screening. You'll also receive a personalised breakdown of anything found and a clear plan — no surprises, no pressure.
Consistently, yes. A single untreated cavity that progresses to a root canal and crown can cost 10–20 times more than the preventive visits that would have caught it early. Dr. Holleman's philosophy is built around this arithmetic — investing in prevention is the most cost-effective dental decision most patients can make.
