Why Routine Dental Cleanings Are Essential for Oral Health
Regular cleanings play a crucial role in maintaining overall health by preventing gum disease, cavities, and more severe dental conditions. Not only does cleaning enhance your smile’s appearance, but it also serves as a preventive measure to avoid the need for more extensive procedures in the future. For patients requiring advanced care, we also offer Periodontal Therapy to address gum health comprehensively.
Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Cleaning
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Most patients benefit from a professional dental cleaning every six months. However, patients with a history of gum disease, higher cavity risk, or certain medical conditions may benefit from more frequent cleanings, such as every three to four months. Dr. Raborn will recommend the right cleaning schedule for your individual needs during your appointment.
Does a dental cleaning hurt?
For most patients, a routine dental cleaning is comfortable and pain-free. You may feel some pressure or mild sensitivity during the scaling process, particularly if it has been a while since your last cleaning or if you have sensitive gums. If you experience discomfort, let our team know and we will adjust our approach. For patients with significant anxiety or sensitivity, we also offer nitrous oxide sedation to make the experience more comfortable.
How long does a dental cleaning take?
A standard dental cleaning and exam at Model Dentistry typically takes between 45 and 60 minutes. If you are due for X-rays or have not been seen in a while, the appointment may run slightly longer. We recommend allowing about an hour when scheduling your visit.
Can children get their teeth cleaned at Model Dentistry?
Absolutely. We provide dental cleanings for patients of all ages, including young children. We recommend that children begin dental visits within six months of their first tooth appearing, or by their first birthday. Our team is experienced in making cleanings fun and comfortable for kids, helping them build positive associations with dental care from an early age. Learn more on our children's dentistry page.
Is teeth cleaning covered by insurance?
Yes, most dental insurance plans cover two professional cleanings per year as part of preventive care, typically at 100 percent with no out-of-pocket cost to you. Coverage can vary by plan, so we recommend checking your specific benefits. At Model Dentistry, we accept most major dental insurance plans and are happy to help you understand your coverage before your appointment.
