Does a dental cleaning hurt?
Dental cleanings are usually comfortable and painless. You may feel slight pressure or sensitivity during the removal of plaque and tartar, especially if it has been a while since your last visit. If you have sensitive teeth or dental anxiety, your dental team can help make the experience more comfortable.
What happens during a professional dental cleaning?
During a dental cleaning, a hygienist removes plaque and tartar from your teeth, polishes the surfaces to remove stains, and flosses between the teeth. Your visit may also include an oral exam and X-rays if needed. Professional cleanings help maintain healthy teeth and gums and can catch dental issues early.
