What does a standard routine visit include?+
It may involve a health-history review, any X-rays that are needed, gum measurements, scaling and polishing, and an examination by the dentist. The exact mix depends on your situation and is explained to you as the appointment goes along.
Is every six months the right gap between cleanings?+
For many patients that is roughly the pattern, but it is not a rule. Depending on your current health and how quickly things change in your mouth, you could be advised to come more or less often, and exams may run on a separate timetable from hygiene.
How is a routine cleaning different from a deep cleaning?+
Routine hygiene deals with deposits on visible tooth surfaces and around the gumline. Scaling and root planing, often called a deep cleaning, is a gum disease treatment that reaches deposits further down on the affected roots. An assessment shows which one applies to you.
Do you see children and seniors for routine visits?+
Yes, children, adults, and seniors are all welcome. What happens during the appointment varies somewhat with age and oral health.
What should I do if something hurts before my cleaning date?+
Phone the clinic instead of sending the form. Pain, swelling, or another new problem deserves timely attention, and a routine appointment is not a replacement for that.
