When you visit our dental clinic for a routine dental cleaning and check-up, the appointment usually takes between 30 and 60 minutes. Every patient is unique, so your appointment time will vary depending on your current gum health, the amount of plaque and tartar buildup you have and how long it has been since your last visit.
How Long Does a Tooth Cleaning Take?
Your preventive tooth cleaning shouldn’t take longer than an hour, but it can take as little as 30 minutes.
Here’s what you can expect at your appointment:
- We’ll examine your teeth and gums, looking for obvious signs of decay or damage.
- A hygienist will use a scaler to remove the plaque and tartar from your teeth and around your gumline.
- They’ll scrub your teeth with a high-powered toothbrush and gritty toothpaste.
- After your cleaning, they’ll floss between each tooth, and you’ll rinse your mouth.
- The dentist will examine your teeth and discuss any concerns.
