<h2>Routine Cleaning or Deep Cleaning?</h2>

<p>A routine cleaning is preventive care for patients whose gums are generally healthy. It focuses on removing plaque and tartar from the visible tooth surfaces and around the gumline.</p>

<p>If an evaluation shows signs of periodontal disease or deeper deposits below the gums, we may recommend scaling and root planing, often called a deep cleaning. This is a different treatment designed to manage gum infection and protect the structures supporting your teeth.</p>

<p>We will explain what we find, answer your questions, and recommend only the level of care your smile needs.</p>

<h2>Dental Cleaning FAQs</h2>

How often should I have my teeth professionally cleaned?

Many patients benefit from a professional cleaning about every six months. Your ideal schedule may be different if you have gum disease, frequent buildup, orthodontic appliances, certain health conditions, or other risk factors. We will recommend a schedule based on your needs.

Do dental cleanings hurt?

Routine cleanings are usually comfortable, although sensitive teeth or inflamed gums can cause brief tenderness. Tell your hygienist about any sensitivity or anxiety so the team can adjust the pace and approach.

Can I eat after a dental cleaning?

In most cases, yes. If fluoride is applied, your hygienist may ask you to wait before eating or drinking. Follow the specific instructions provided at your appointment.

Does dental insurance cover cleanings?

Many dental plans include preventive cleanings, but coverage and frequency limits vary. Contact your insurance provider or ask our team to help you understand the benefits available under your plan.

Can a cleaning whiten my teeth?

Polishing can remove many surface stains and make your smile look brighter, but it does not change the natural color of your enamel. Ask us about professional teeth whitening if you would like a more noticeable color change.
