Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our hygiene treatments.
How often should I have a professional cleaning?
Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months. However, if you have gum disease or other specific conditions, we may recommend more frequent cleanings, such as every three or four months.
What's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) focuses on cleaning the surfaces of the teeth above the gumline. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) addresses bacteria and tartar below the gumline and is typically recommended for patients with signs of gum disease.
Do professional cleanings hurt?
Most patients find professional cleanings to be comfortable. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, we can use topical numbing gel to ensure your comfort. For deep cleanings, we typically use local anesthesia to ensure you don't feel discomfort.
How long does a professional cleaning take?
A regular cleaning typically takes 45-60 minutes, which includes the cleaning, polishing, and fluoride treatment. Deep cleanings may require more time and are often done in sections, with separate appointments for different quadrants of the mouth.
