A dental cleaning will remove surface stains from things like coffee, tea, or tobacco, often making your teeth look visibly whiter. However, for more dramatic results, you may want to consider our professional teeth whitening services following your dental cleaning.
Most dental cleanings are painless. You may feel slight pressure or sensitivity, especially if you have gum inflammation, but our team ensures your comfort throughout.
Yes, dental cleanings are safe and highly recommended during pregnancy. Hormonal changes can increase your risk of gum disease, so keeping up with professional dental cleanings can help protect both your health and your baby’s health.
Before your dental cleaning appointment, brush and floss as usual, and avoid eating right beforehand if possible. After your dental cleaning, especially if fluoride is applied, wait at least 30 minutes before eating or drinking. If you had a dental deep cleaning, follow post-care instructions like avoiding hard or sticky foods and using a prescribed mouth rinse if given.
If you have signs of gum disease, such as bleeding gums, bad breath, gum recession, or loose teeth, you may need a dental deep cleaning (scaling and root planing). Dr. Kelishadi will evaluate your gum health during your dental exam and recommend the right type of dental cleaning based on your needs.
