Many people need to pay more attention to oral hygiene, which is important to their health. The health of your mouth is often a good indication of the health of your internal organs and general well-being. Your mouth is home to millions of different types of bacteria and whole colonies of microorganisms. With so much going on in our mouths, we must pay special attention to teeth cleaning and gum care to help our overall health.

Routine Cleaning and Deep Cleaning

Since we are committed to providing comprehensive dental care to our patients, you can count on us for routine and deep cleaning services. 

Routine dental cleaning is a standard part of oral care, recommended every six months for most individuals. This cleaning involves using different tools to remove the bacteria and tartar buildup between the teeth and gums. The key features of a routine cleanup include plague and tartar removal, polishing, flossing and fluoride treatment, and oral examination. 

Deep cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing, is a more intensive dental procedure typically recommended for individuals with gum disease (periodontal disease) or significant buildup of tartar below the gumline. It is a non-surgical treatment aimed at removing bacterial deposits and promoting healing of the gums. Key features of deep cleaning include scaling, root planing, and local anaesthesia. 

Frequently Asked Questions

How Often Should I Have My Teeth Cleaned?

The frequency of teeth cleaning varies based on individual oral health needs:

  • Every Six Months Many benefit from biannual cleanings, ideal for those with good oral health and no gum disease history. It prevents plaque and tartar buildup, lowers cavity risk, and catches issues early.
  • Every Three to Four Months: Some, like gum disease patients, smokers, or immune-compromised individuals, may need more frequent cleanings customised by their dentist.
  • Annual or Biennial: Rarely, those with excellent oral hygiene and low risk may extend cleaning intervals, subject to dentist approval.
  • Individual Assessment: Dentists tailor cleaning frequency based on your health history, status, and risks.

Will My Teeth Be Sensitive After Getting Them Cleaned?

Teeth may be sensitive after a cleaning, but it’s usually temporary and mild, lasting a day or so. Sensitivity results from factors like plaque removal and dentin exposure. You can manage it with desensitising toothpaste and avoiding extreme temperatures. If it persists, consult our dentist.

How Long Does Teeth Cleaning Take?

A typical teeth cleaning appointment usually takes about 30 minutes to an hour. However, the exact duration can vary depending on individual oral health needs and the extent of cleaning required.

Does Private Health Insurance Cover Dental Fees or Teeth Cleanings?

Private health insurance may cover dental fees and teeth cleanings, but coverage varies widely depending on the specific insurance plan. Reviewing your policy to understand what dental services are included and any associated costs is essential.
