FAQ
Dental Cleanings & Exams FAQs
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Most patients should have a professional dental cleaning every six months. However, if you have gum disease or other oral health concerns, Dr. Chase may recommend more frequent cleanings every three to four months.
Does dental cleaning hurt?
Dental cleanings are generally painless. You may experience some mild sensitivity or discomfort if you have sensitive teeth or gum inflammation, but our team takes great care to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.
How long does a dental cleaning appointment take?
A typical dental cleaning appointment takes 45-60 minutes. This includes the examination, cleaning, polishing, and any necessary X-rays or fluoride treatment.
Is dental cleaning covered by insurance?
Friendly Smiles Center is not in network with dental insurance plans and does not accept Medicaid. We will gladly file your claim on your behalf to help maximize your available benefits. For affordable financing with fast approvals and available discounts, please see Payment Options & Policies.
What's the difference between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning?
A regular cleaning (prophylaxis) removes plaque and tartar from above the gum line. A deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) is a more intensive procedure that cleans below the gum line and is typically recommended for patients with gum disease.
Can I eat after a dental cleaning?
Yes, you can eat immediately after a regular dental cleaning. If you received a fluoride treatment, we recommend waiting 30 minutes before eating or drinking to allow the fluoride to fully absorb.
