Question 1

What happens during a Check‑Up and Clean?

Accepted Answer

A Check‑Up and Clean includes an examination of your teeth and gums, removal of plaque and tartar, a gentle polish, and advice on how to maintain your oral health. It is designed to keep your mouth healthy and prevent future problems.

Question 2

How often should I book a Check‑Up and Clean?

Accepted Answer

Most patients benefit from a Check‑Up and Clean every six months. Some people may need visits more often depending on their gum health, medical history, or risk of decay.

Question 3

Does a Check‑Up and Clean hurt?

Accepted Answer

A Check‑Up and Clean is usually comfortable. Any sensitivity is mild and temporary. The dentist will adjust the pressure and technique to keep the appointment gentle, especially for patients with sensitive teeth or gums.

Question 4

Why is a professional clean important if I brush at home?

Accepted Answer

Brushing and flossing remove daily plaque, but only a professional clean can remove hardened tartar and reach areas that are difficult to clean at home. This helps prevent gum disease, decay, and long‑term oral health issues.

Question 5

What happens if I delay my Check‑Up and Clean?

Accepted Answer

Delaying routine visits can allow plaque, tartar, and early dental problems to progress unnoticed. This may lead to gum inflammation, cavities, or more complex treatment later. Regular visits help catch issues early and keep your mouth healthy.
