It is designed to keep your mouth healthy and prevent future problems."},{"question":"How often should I book a Check\u2011Up and Clean?","answer":"Most patients benefit from a Check\u2011Up and Clean every six months. Some people may need visits more often depending on their gum health, medical history, or risk of decay."},{"question":"Does a Check\u2011Up and Clean hurt?","answer":"A Check\u2011Up 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":"Why is a professional clean important if I brush at home?","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\u2011term oral health issues."},{"question":"What happens if I delay my Check\u2011Up and Clean?","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."}],"relationships":{"clinic":[],"practitioners":[],"services":[]},"graph":{"node":"check-up-clean","edges":[]},"jsonld":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@id":"check-up-clean","@type":["Service","MedicalProcedure","Action"],"name":"Check\u2011Up & Clean","description":"A comprehensive dental examination combined with a thorough scale and polish to remove plaque, tartar, and surface stains.
