FAQS ABOUT DENTAL TEETH CLEANINGS
Why are regular teeth cleanings important?
Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home can’t reach, helping prevent cavities, gum disease, and bad breath.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Most people should have a cleaning every six months, but your dentist may recommend more frequent visits if you have gum disease or other oral health concerns.
Do teeth cleanings hurt?
Cleanings are generally comfortable. You may feel slight pressure or sensitivity, especially if you have buildup or sensitive gums, but most patients find the process easy and painless.
What happens during a dental cleaning?
Your hygienist will gently remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth to remove surface stains, and floss between your teeth. A dentist will also examine your mouth for any concerns.
Will a cleaning whiten my teeth?
A cleaning removes surface stains and makes your teeth look brighter, but it’s not the same as professional teeth whitening. If you’re looking for a whiter smile, your dentist can recommend whitening options.
