Teeth Cleaning Edmonton

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know!

How often should I get my teeth cleaned?

We generally recommend that individuals undergo professional teeth cleaning every six months. However, the frequency may vary depending on your specific oral health needs. Some individuals with certain dental conditions may require more frequent cleanings, while others may be able to maintain good oral health with less frequent visits.

Is teeth cleaning painful?

Our dental professionals strive to make the teeth cleaning experience as comfortable as possible for our patients. While you may experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity during the cleaning process, it is typically not painful. Our team uses gentle techniques and numbing agents, if necessary, to minimize any discomfort.

How long does a teeth cleaning appointment take?

The duration of a teeth cleaning appointment can vary depending on the extent of cleaning needed and individual factors such as the presence of gum disease or tartar buildup. On average, a routine teeth cleaning appointment typically lasts between 30 minutes to an hour.

Can teeth cleaning remove stains from my teeth?

Yes, teeth cleaning procedures include polishing to remove surface stains caused by factors such as food, beverages, and tobacco use. While professional cleaning can significantly improve the appearance of your teeth, severe stains or discoloration may require additional treatments such as teeth whitening.

Will teeth cleaning make my teeth sensitive?

It's not uncommon to experience temporary tooth sensitivity following a teeth cleaning appointment, especially if you have sensitive teeth or if there is a significant buildup of tartar or plaque. However, any sensitivity usually resolves within a few days. Our dental team can provide recommendations for managing sensitivity, if needed.

Can I eat or drink after a teeth cleaning appointment?

You can typically resume your normal eating and drinking habits immediately after a teeth cleaning appointment. However, it's advisable to avoid consuming highly pigmented foods and beverages (such as coffee, tea, or red wine) for a few hours after the cleaning to prevent staining.
