Do I really need to come in twice a year?

For most people, every six months is the perfect time to stop tartar from building up. If you have had gum problems before, the team should see you a bit more often to make sure your mouth stays on the right track.

Will the cleaning hurt if my teeth are sensitive?

The team wants you to be comfortable, so they use very gentle tools. If your teeth are sensitive to cold or touch, just let them know! They can use special gels to numb the area so you don’t feel a thing while they clean.

Can a dental cleaning make my teeth look whiter?

While it isn’t the same as a bleaching kit, a cleaning is great at scrubbing away surface stains from tea or food. Most people leave the office with a smile that looks much brighter and feels super smooth to the tongue.

What happens if I skip my check-up for a long time?

If you wait years to get a cleaning, the tartar can get so thick that it starts to destroy the bone holding your teeth in place. This can make teeth get loose or lead to painful infections that are much harder to treat.
