Frequently asked questions about Dental Cleaning
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Many patients do well with visits every six months. If you have gum disease or other risk factors, we may recommend a different interval.
Will the cleaning hurt?
Most people find cleanings comfortable. If you have sensitivity, let us know—we can adjust techniques and discuss options to keep you at ease.
Does a cleaning replace brushing and flossing at home?
No. Professional cleanings remove hardened tartar and reach areas that are hard to clean at home; daily brushing and flossing still matter every day.
