A preventative student dental plan has three core elements:
With these three elements, you will dramatically reduce the risk of cavities, gingivitis, enamel loss, and periodontitis. Regular and consistent hygiene at home is the first step in protecting your smile, but it’s not enough on its own to keep your teeth and gums healthy. In-office cleaning treatments remove plaque, tartar, and debris missed during brushing at home. An examination every six months will catch any dental concerns early so you can get effective treatment.
Preventative dentistry prevents advanced complications and costs from dental treatment.
With your student health coverage, you will enjoy fully covered cleanings and examinations with a trusted dentist for students. Discounts on common procedures ensure you get the care you need while taking full advantage of your student dental plan.

Also known as prophylaxis, a trained dental hygienist will remove plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth, and just below the gum line. The process usually starts with an examination of your teeth, gums, and soft tissues in your mouth. Your hygienist will note any areas of concern before cleaning.
Hygienists use various tools for professional teeth cleaning. An ultrasonic scaler removes tartar and plaque. It safely breaks down any buildup missed by your toothbrush at home. Even with regular brushing, you will need in-office cleanings every six months to maintain healthy teeth. Your hygienist will polish your teeth to remove surface grooves, preventing the buildup of bacteria and plaque. Detailed flossing removes plaque and particles from the gaps between teeth, and your hygienist might finish your treatment with a fluoride treatment, depending on your unique needs.
The process can take from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the health of your teeth and how regularly you visit your dentist. In-office cleaning is one of the most crucial steps to maintain and improve your oral health. Use your student dental plan and enjoy simple and no-cost bookings with Studental.
You will typically schedule an in-office cleaning and a detailed dental examination at the same time. An examination allows your dentist to assess the health of your teeth, gums, and mouth, to identify any issues before they become major dental concerns. Students should see a dentist every six months for a cleaning and an examination.
Your dentist will specifically look for problems like tooth decay, cavities, gum disease, cracked or broken teeth, and other structural problems.
