A professional dental cleaning and polishing keeps the teeth whiter for a more brilliant smile.

Dental Cleanings FAQs
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Plaque and tartar can still build up on your teeth, even with regular brushing and flossing. That's why Dr. Veytsman recommends that you have regular dental cleanings at least twice a year. Dental cleanings help in the early detection of issues like cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems, allowing for timely treatment. However, those with a higher risk of dental disease or conditions like periodontal (gum) disease may need to see their dentist more often. It's best to follow the personalized advice of your dentist, as they can provide guidance based on your specific oral health situation.
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
No, it doesn't. Most patients don't find dental cleanings uncomfortable at all. However, people who have sensitive teeth or gums may find the procedure a little uncomfortable. If there's a significant amount of tartar buildup, tartar removal might cause some discomfort, especially if it's below the gum line. Anxiety can heighten sensations and make the cleaning process feel more uncomfortable than it actually is. Dentists and hygienists are skilled at making the process as comfortable as possible. They use specialized tools to gently remove plaque and tartar and can apply topical numbing agents to help minimize discomfort.
How long does a dental cleaning usually take?
How long your dental cleaning takes depends mostly on how much plaque and tartar you have on your teeth. Most typical dental cleanings can take about 45 minutes to an hour. If it's been a long time since your last dental visit, or if you have significant tartar buildup or require more extensive cleaning due to gum disease, the appointment could take longer, possibly up to 90 minutes or more. Additionally, if your appointment includes other procedures such as dental x-rays or a more thorough examination by the dentist, this can also extend the time you spend in the dental office.
Are dental cleanings bad for your teeth?
Not at all. The enamel of your teeth is extremely durable and strong, and a dental cleaning is actually the best way to protect your teeth from tooth decay and keep them looking bright and beautiful. Cleaning polishes your teeth, removes stains, and makes your teeth look brighter and feel smoother. This treatment helps keep your gums healthy, reducing the risk of periodontal (gum) disease, which can lead to tooth loss and other health problems. By removing plaque, tartar, and bacteria, regular cleanings also can help combat halitosis (bad breath).
Can dental cleanings prevent gum disease?
Yes, dental cleanings play a crucial role in preventing gum disease by removing plaque and tartar, which are the main causes of gingivitis (early-stage gum disease) and periodontitis (advanced gum disease). Regular cleanings help keep the gums healthy and reduce the risk of inflammation, infection, and gum recession associated with untreated gum disease. For patients who have been treated for gum disease, regular cleanings (sometimes on a more frequent schedule) are essential to prevent the disease from recurring.
Are dental cleanings covered by insurance?
Many dental insurance plans cover preventive services such as dental cleanings as part of routine care. However, coverage may vary depending on the specific plan. It's important to check with your insurance company to understand your coverage. If you’re at high risk for dental diseases, some insurance plans may cover additional cleanings or treatments beyond the standard preventive care. To understand the specifics of what your dental insurance covers, it’s best to review your insurance policy or contact your insurance provider directly.
