Does dental cleaning hurt?
Cleanings are typically comfortable. If you have sensitivity, we can use numbing gel, gentle ultrasonic tools, and other comfort measures.
What’s the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning removes plaque and tartar above and below the gumline; a deep cleaning (scaling & root planing) treats gum disease below the gumline.
How do I know if I need a deep cleaning?
Signs include bleeding gums, deep pockets, gum recession, tartar under the gums, or early bone loss.
Can dental cleanings whiten my teeth?
Cleanings remove surface stains and brighten teeth, but for significant whitening, we offer GLO Science professional whitening.
Do children need dental cleanings?
Absolutely. Kids benefit from cleanings, fluoride, sealants, and early habit-building.
What if my wisdom tooth is causing pain or swelling?
This can signal infection or impaction. Our dentists will assess the area and recommend treatment, which may include cleaning, antibiotics, or extraction.
