Teeth Cleaning FAQs

Does teeth cleaning hurt?
For most patients, a routine teeth cleaning is completely painless. If you have sensitive teeth, mild gum inflammation, or dental anxiety, let us know! We can apply a quick topical numbing gel or offer mild nitrous oxide (laughing gas) to ensure you remain completely comfortable throughout your appointment.
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Most children and adults need a professional cleaning every six months. However, if you are prone to rapid tartar buildup, frequent cavities, or have a history of gum disease, we may recommend coming in every 3 to 4 months to keep your mouth healthy.
What is the difference between a routine cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A routine cleaning (prophylaxis) is a preventive treatment performed above the gumline on patients with healthy gum tissue. Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is a medical treatment for active gum disease that clears plaque and bacteria deep below the gumline and smooths tooth roots to promote healing.
