Frequently Asked Questions
Does teeth cleaning hurt?
Most people feel only mild pressure or brief sensitivity during cleaning, especially if there's significant tartar buildup or sensitive gums.
How often should I get a dental checkup?
Every six months is the general recommendation for most people, though your dentist may suggest a different frequency based on your oral health history.
Will cleaning make my teeth whiter?
Cleaning removes surface stains and plaque, which can noticeably brighten your smile, though it isn't the same as a dedicated teeth-whitening treatment.
What happens if I skip regular checkups?
Skipping checkups allows plaque, cavities, and gum disease to progress silently, often leading to more complex and costly treatment later.
Is X-ray radiation during checkups safe?
Yes, dental X-rays use very low radiation doses and are considered safe, including with the protective precautions your dental team will use.
