Your Teeth Cleaning Questions Answered
Get the information you need about our professional dental cleaning services
What is a dental cleaning?
A dental cleaning is a preventive procedure where a trained dental hygienist removes plaque, tartar, and stains from your teeth. It includes scaling, polishing, and flossing, all supervised by our dentists to ensure comprehensive oral health care.
What is a dental cleaning procedure?
The procedure involves several gentle steps: examination of teeth and gums, scaling to remove tartar above and below the gumline, polishing to remove stains, thorough flossing, and optional fluoride treatment. Our dentist-led approach ensures thorough, comfortable care.
How long does a dental cleaning take?
A typical routine cleaning takes 30-75 minutes. The time varies depending on the amount of buildup and your individual needs. Deep cleanings may require 2-4 longer appointments of 60-90 minutes each.
How often should I book dental cleaning?
Most patients benefit from cleanings every 6 months. However, some individuals with gum disease or higher risk factors may need more frequent visits every 3-4 months. We’ll recommend the right schedule based on your oral health.
Deep cleaning teeth vs. routine cleaning. what's the difference?
Routine cleaning (prophylaxis) is preventive care for healthy mouths, focusing on above-gumline cleaning. Deep cleaning (SRP) treats gum disease by cleaning below the gumline and smoothing root surfaces. Deep cleaning is recommended when gum disease is present.
Teeth sensitive after cleaning. Is that normal?
Yes, temporary sensitivity for 24-48 hours after cleaning is completely normal. This happens because tartar removal can expose tooth surfaces. Use a soft toothbrush, avoid extreme temperatures, and rinse with warm salt water to minimize discomfort.
How long after teeth cleaning can I eat?
You can eat immediately after a routine cleaning. If you received fluoride treatment, wait 30 minutes before eating or drinking. For the first few hours, avoid strongly colored foods and drinks to prevent staining your freshly polished teeth.
Dental cleaning near me. Do you accept my insurance?
Yes! We accept virtually all dental insurance plans in Ontario. We offer direct billing in most cases and can verify your coverage before your appointment. Call us with your plan details for instant verification.
