We recommend a dental check-up and clean with us at least every 6 months, for adults and children, to ensure oral health is in optimal shape. Calculus will build up on teeth inevitably, especially the lower incisors, and it is important to have these scaled off to avoid progression of gum disease. More frequent visits of Check-up and Cleaning may be suggested by us if there is a history of advanced gum disease.
Typically, it takes 30 minutes to an hour for the dentist to comprehensively examine the teeth, gums, tongue, and cheeks for issues. X-rays and scans are usually taken to detect what cannot be seen visually. This is followed by tartar removal, fluoride application and polishing, then finally presentation and discussion of the findings are discussed with you for the remainder of the appointment.
No, having a scale and clean with our gentle dentists is not painful. We use modern equipment that allows adjustment of the power of our ultrasonic scalers to keep the procedure pain and discomfort free. Rest assured, your scale and clean with us will be efficient and performed with your comfort in mind.
It is common to experience some sensitivity after a scale and clean. The sensitivity is transient and will improve quickly with home care, such as maintaining good oral hygiene habits, flossing regularly, using a fluoridated toothpaste and avoiding acids and sugar in your diet. You will leave your appointment with a personalized treatment plan and your questions answered by our experienced dentists.

Yes! It is safe and in fact, strongly recommended to have a Check-Up and Clean during your pregnancy. Many changes occur to your hormones and body that can influence the gums and teeth, such as having an increased risk of gum disease during pregnancy. This makes it even more important to be on top of your oral health while you are pregnant.
Maintaining good oral health at home involves a few key practices:
1. Brush Twice Daily: Use fluoride toothpaste and a soft-bristled toothbrush to brush for at least 3 minutes, covering all surfaces of your teeth and along the gumline.
2. Floss Daily: Flossing removes plaque and food particles between teeth that brushing alone can’t reach. If you struggle with flossing the back teeth, there are alternative methods! Use a interdental brush or a waterflosser.
3. Limit Sugary Foods and Drinks: Reducing sugar intake helps prevent cavities and maintains tooth enamel.
4. Avoid Tobacco Products: Smoking and chewing tobacco can lead to gum disease, stains, and even oral cancer. Incorporating these habits helps keep your smile healthy between dental visits!
It is a good idea to bring your child to see our experienced dentists as early as 6 months! This is a good time for us to educate you as parents how to look after their dental health and what to expect dentally as they grow. It is also a good time to reinforce and instil good oral hygiene habits into them at this age.
