How Long Does a Professional Dental Cleaning Appointment Take?

A typical dental cleaning and check-up appointment usually takes between 45 minutes and an hour, depending on your oral health and whether additional care is needed.

Is Teeth Cleaning Painful?

Dental cleanings are generally painless. However, if you have sensitive teeth or gum inflammation, you may feel slight discomfort. Your hygienist can adjust the procedure to keep you comfortable.

How Can I Maintain My Oral Health Between Dental Visits?

Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing daily, eating a balanced diet, and limiting sugary foods and drinks can help maintain your oral health between visits.

What Are the Signs That I May Need a Dental Check-up Sooner than Six Months?

You should visit your dentist sooner if you experience tooth pain, bleeding gums, foul breath, or sensitivity or notice any unusual changes in your mouth.

Are Dental Cleanings Covered by Insurance?

Many dental insurance plans cover routine cleanings and check-ups either fully or partially. It’s best to check with your provider to understand your specific coverage. You can also check your Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) eligibility.

Benefits of Maintaining Oral Hygiene

Daily teeth brushing and flossing are one part of maintaining good oral hygiene, but they have to be accompanied by professional cleanings. Removal of plaque and tartar build up from your teeth and gums can be done by professionals only. In-home dental hygiene routine will not suffice.

Regular check-ups not only ensure your teeth and gums are in good condition, but also help us detect dental problems such as gum disease and oral cancer at an earlier stage. You will be able to avoid painful and expensive treatments.

If you haven’t been to a dentist for over 8 months or can feel some discomfort in your teeth, gums, or mouth, give us a call. The experienced and courteous dentists at Fraccaro Dental Group will help you. It is best to be always on top of preventive dentistry and to treat dental problems earlier rather than later.
