Enjoy Excellent Oral Health With Regular Cleanings and Exams
Dental cleanings and exams form the cornerstone of our general dentistry services. Without regular checkups, it’s difficult to ensure the beauty and function of your teeth. That’s why we, along with the American Dental Association, recommend that you have a cleaning and exam twice a year. Doing so gives us the opportunity to catch small dental problems and provide treatment before they can do extensive damage to your smile.
Several things will happen during your dental exam and cleaning:
- Your hygienist will take a dental history and carefully listen to any concerns you have about your teeth or gums.
- We’ll use digital X-rays to take detailed images of your teeth, roots, nerves, and bones.
- We’ll perform a complete dental exam, including an oral cancer screening. A digital scanner will be used to help spot issues with your teeth and gums, including cavities and bite alignment.
- Your hygienist will thoroughly clean and polish your teeth, removing plaque and tartar from all the areas you might miss at home. If you’re a new patient, we may schedule your teeth cleaning for another appointment, depending on your circumstances.
- Your dentist will examine your mouth, double-checking any areas of concern noted by the hygienist.
- We’ll lay out treatment options for any problems we find, giving you the information you need to make sound decisions about your care.
We Offer Other General Dentistry Services, Too
Besides dental cleanings and exams, you’ll have access to other general dentistry treatments at our practice. If we find any problems during your exam, we may recommend one or both of these treatments:
- Nonsurgical Gum Disease Treatment – We’ll perform a deep cleaning on your gums to remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from around and below your gumline.
- Custom-Fit Mouthguards – We can have a professional mouthguard made for athletic use, to prevent teeth grinding, or to relieve TMJ symptoms.
Call us today at 207-295-0990 to schedule an appointment. Don’t risk your only smile. Brunswick general dentistry from Kathleen S. Winn, DMD will help you keep it healthy and bright. You can also make an appointment online.

Charming waiting area exudes relaxed friendliness compared to other waiting areas I have been in which exude cheapness and practicality. Another thing that has struck me is that the staff seems to be friendly and responsible grownups, not what one so often sees these days where young people on staff seem to be over-stressed and underpaid as well as being under trained. A closing plus is ample parking.

Another excellent experience!! Ran late for my appointment unexpectedly. Monica took me in quickly finished my cleaning in the shorter time frame than expected, she’s always pleasant! Time was made for Dr. Winn to come in check everything over at the end of the appt., ensure a plan for my next appt. and connected face to face to discuss. Greeted with great customer service skills by Heidi at the front desk when you arrive and leave. 5 stars hands down!

from the start I have had nothing but the best care at Dr. Winn’s office. I hadn’t seen a dentist in over twenty years. My dentures were that old!! I am being treated with patience, kindness and skill. Best of all – the staff, including Dr. Winn, seems to have a similar sense of humor as myself. I so thoroughly enjoy the conversations we have while they are working with my teeth. I also am happy they accept my occasional tears (that I can’t hold back when I am happy)
Common Questions About General Dentistry
What is general dentistry?
Several dental services fall under general dentistry. We offer dental exams and cleanings, gum disease treatment, and custom-fit mouthguards to protect your teeth. Routine general dentistry goes a long way toward keeping your smile bright and your oral health optimal.
Should I use mouthwash?
Using mouthwash can be a beneficial addition to your oral hygiene routine. It can help freshen your breath, reach areas that brushing and flossing may miss, and reduce the bacteria that cause plaque and gum disease. However, it’s important to choose a mouthwash that suits your specific needs and follow the instructions carefully. Remember, mouthwash is not a substitute for regular brushing and flossing, but it can be a helpful complement to maintain good oral health.
Do I need dental X-rays?
We may recommend dental X-rays to ensure comprehensive oral care. With advancements in technology, digital X-rays are now widely used, offering enhanced safety. They use significantly less radiation compared to traditional X-rays, making them a safer option. Digital X-rays provide detailed images for accurate diagnoses, helping us identify potential issues early on.
