Haven’t had a cleaning in a while? You’re not alone. Many people avoid the dentist because they’re unsure what to expect. At Chuks Dental Clinic, we make cleanings gentle, thorough, and stress-free.
Here’s what a typical dental cleaning visit looks like:
🪥 1. Warm Welcome & Medical Review
We begin by reviewing your health history, medications, and any dental concerns. This helps us tailor your care.
🧼 2. Plaque & Tartar Removal (Scaling)
Using special tools, we gently remove plaque (soft buildup) and tartar (hardened plaque) from your teeth, especially around the gum line.
✨ 3. Professional Polishing
Next, we polish your teeth using a high-powered brush and gritty toothpaste to remove surface stains and leave your teeth feeling smooth and clean.
🧵 4. Flossing & Rinse
We floss between your teeth and may offer a fluoride rinse or varnish for extra protection.
👩⚕️ 5. Dental Exam
Your dentist checks for signs of decay, gum disease, or any abnormalities. If needed, X-rays may be taken to look beneath the surface.
⏱ The Whole Visit Takes About 45 Minutes to 1 Hour
Don’t worry if it’s been a while—we’re here to help, not judge. The goal is to refresh your smile and catch issues early before they become problems.
Bonus Tip: Schedule cleanings every 6 months for the best results.
