Preventive dental care
01Checkups & professional cleaning
A checkup looks for concerns you may not feel yet. Cleaning removes plaque and hardened tartar that brushing cannot fully reach. The dentist first checks whether a routine cleaning or a deeper gum-care plan is appropriate.

Conversation first
Tell the dentist about pain, sensitivity, bleeding, medical history, and what you want help with.
- 02
Oral examination
The dentist checks the teeth, gums, bite, and visible soft tissues. An X-ray is recommended only when it adds useful information.
- 03
Cleaning when suitable

Common questions
Checkups & cleaning
Will scaling weaken my teeth?
Scaling removes plaque and hardened tartar from tooth surfaces. It does not remove healthy tooth structure.
Do I need an X-ray at every checkup?
No. The dentist considers your symptoms, history, age, and previous images before recommending one.
Why might cleaning cost more than the routine range?
Heavy tartar, gum disease, stains, deeper cleaning, or several treatment areas can require more time and care.
