Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I get a professional dental cleaning?
It's recommended to have your teeth cleaned every 6 months, although this may vary depending on the condition of your gums and your daily hygiene. Your dentist will tell you the appropriate frequency.
Does dental cleaning hurt?
No. It may cause mild discomfort if there is a lot of tartar buildup or sensitive gums, but overall it is a quick, safe, and noninvasive procedure.
Why isn't brushing at home enough?
Although daily brushing is essential, there are areas that can't be completely cleaned at home. Professional cleaning removes tartar buildup and prevents problems such as gingivitis and periodontitis.
What is fluoride and what is it used for?
It's a mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. It's used in the office after cleaning, especially for children, adolescents, or adults at higher risk for cavities.
What is a night guard?
It is a transparent, custom-made device that is usually worn at night to protect teeth from wear caused by bruxism (teeth grinding or clenching).
