FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about dental cleaning
Does dental cleaning hurt?
In general, dental prophylaxis does not hurt. There may be some sensitivity if the gums are inflamed or if there is significant tartar buildup, but our specialists use ultrasonic techniques that minimize any discomfort during the procedure.
How long does the procedure take?
A standard professional dental cleaning takes 45 minutes to 1 hour. If a deep periodontal cleaning is needed, the time may extend to 1.5 or 2 hours depending on the clinical case.
Does cleaning damage tooth enamel?
No. When performed by trained professionals with modern equipment, dental prophylaxis does not damage the enamel. On the contrary, removing tartar protects the tooth structure in the long term.
Is it normal for gums to bleed during cleaning?
Slight bleeding at the start is normal, especially if it has been a long time since your last cleaning. It generally decreases with each session as the gums become healthier.
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Ideally, a professional dental cleaning every 6 months. For patients with periodontal disease or a tendency to accumulate tartar, every 3 or 4 months may be recommended according to the specialist’s assessment.
Can dental cleaning be financed?
Yes. We work with multiple financial institutions and offer accessible payment plans so you can care for your oral health without financial worries.
