Who it’s for /
Are you due for a cleaning?
Your toothbrush and a professional cleaning solve two different problems. These are the signs you’re due.
You brush well and still get tartar
It’s not poor hygiene: tartar is hardened plaque. It’s stuck to the tooth and only comes off with dental instruments.
Your gums bleed
Bleeding when you brush is a sign of inflammation. It almost never hurts, which is why it’s worth checking early.
It’s been more than six months
That’s the general rule. Some people build up tartar quickly and need to come in every three or four months.
You have braces, smoke or are pregnant
In those cases, and if you have diabetes, it’s a good idea to shorten the time between cleanings.
Step by step /What happens during a cleaning
Three steps, in a single visit. In a healthy mouth, it doesn’t hurt.
Checkup
We check your teeth and gums. It’s often the most valuable part: it’s where we catch what isn’t causing symptoms yet.
We remove the tartar
With an ultrasonic scaler, which breaks it up with vibration and water, and with fine instruments in the hard-to-reach spots.
We polish
A smooth surface holds less plaque, so new tartar takes longer to form.
After your cleaning /
What’s normal afterward
Your teeth will feel smoother. If you notice some sensitivity, it isn’t wear: it’s areas the tartar was covering that are now exposed.
Good to know
- Sensitivity, if you have any, usually goes away in a few days.
- If your teeth look farther apart, they didn’t move: the tartar that filled that space is gone.
- A cleaning doesn’t wear down your enamel: the ultrasonic scaler works on the tartar, not on the tooth.
- Brush twice a day, floss, and we’ll see you in six months.

In a healthy mouth, no. The ultrasonic scaler makes noise and you feel the vibration, but it doesn’t hurt. If your gums are very inflamed, we tell you beforehand and find a way to make it more comfortable.
