Dental Cleanings & Exam

With regular dental appointments, our dentist can help you maintain your smile. Even with regular brushing and flossing, cavities and other problems can still appear. See Dr. John Schymanski for a dental cleaning and exam in Schererville, Indiana. Call our office at 219-756-2345 and Forest Ridge Family Dentistry can carefully check and clean your smile.


Dental cleanings and exams are two of the most basic yet important preventive treatments we provide at our office. Each time you visit our dental practice for a checkup, we will provide a professional teeth cleaning and dental exam to help your smile stay healthy. During your cleaning and exam, our dental team will:

  • Clean your teeth by removing any plaque or tartar (also called dental calculus), which can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease

  • Floss and polish your teeth for a healthy, bright smile

  • Examine your smile for signs of any damaging dental conditions or diseases

We may utilize dental X-rays to further evaluate your smile and make certain that you receive the dental care you need. Regular dental cleanings and exams are essential in maintaining good oral health, preventing cavities and gum disease, and making sure that any damaging conditions are treated as early as possible.

We recommend that you visit us every six months for a routine dental cleaning and exam. We may suggest more frequent visits if needed, and we also encourage you to contact us if you suffer from a dental emergency, pain or injury. To schedule your next appointment, we invite you to contact us today. We look forward to caring for your smile!
