Of course. There are protocols for cleaning the CCD. Some DSLRs incorporate a barrier oin front of the CCD, in my case, CMOS. This aids cleaning by enabling removal of dust from a surface other than a CCD (or CMOS), and also providing a resting place for said dust that is not on the focal plain, and therefore not in focus. I have personally yet to see any problems with dust. Certainly I do not expect it to be as bad as the dust that accumulates in the corners of scanned negatives...
