FAQ
How often should I get cleaning done?
Many people benefit from periodic cleaning. Frequency depends on gum condition, calculus build-up, and hygiene routine. Your Dentist will suggest a schedule after evaluation.
Does cleaning damage enamel?
Professional cleaning is designed to remove deposits and support gum health. It does not “scrape off” enamel. Your Dentist will assess sensitivity and proceed appropriately.
Will cleaning hurt?
Most patients find it comfortable. If gums are inflamed or deposits are heavy, mild tenderness can occur. We keep the approach gentle and explain each step.
Does cleaning whiten teeth?
Cleaning removes plaque and surface stains, which can make teeth look cleaner. Whitening is a separate treatment and is advised case-by-case.
