Dental cleanings FAQs
These answers are general information. Your dentist can provide guidance based on an examination.
How often should I have a cleaning?
Many people are seen about twice a year, while others benefit from a different schedule based on gum health, decay risk, and treatment history.
Are dental X-rays taken every visit?
Not necessarily. The need and frequency depend on age, symptoms, oral health, and risk.
What if I have gum disease?
A routine cleaning may not be enough. The team will explain whether periodontal treatment is more appropriate.
