dental cleaning

How often should you get a dental cleaning?

If you have relatively healthy gums we recommend professional cleaning 2 times a year. Most dental insurances cover 2 cleanings and exams per year which must be scheduled 6 months apart for full coverage.

Depending on your gum health your dentist and hygienist may recommend professional cleanings more often or more advanced cleanings in addition to recommendations on improved home care.

Types of dental cleanings:

●    Gingivitis cleaning

●    Scaling and root planning (commonly called “deep cleaning”)

●    Debridement
