What happens at a dental cleaning, and is a checkup included?

A dental cleaning removes plaque and hardened deposits that need professional attention. We assess gum health and may record bleeding, gum-pocket measurements and changes in support, with practical guidance for cleaning between visits. A dental examination checks for disease and other concerns and may be scheduled with your cleaning. Ask the team whether an examination is part of your planned visit.

How often should I have my teeth cleaned?

At Evidental, we generally recommend a dental cleaning about every six months. Your dentist and hygienist work together to adjust the schedule to your needs; more buildup or gum-health concerns may mean earlier visits. Examinations and cleanings can follow different schedules, so patients at lower risk may not need an examination at every cleaning appointment. We will explain which care is recommended for your next visit and why.

How long does a dental cleaning take?

Appointment length depends on your gum health, the amount of buildup and whether additional assessments or treatment are needed. Care beneath the gumline may require more time or several visits. Ask the team how much time to allow for your planned visit.

Why do my gums bleed when I brush?

Bleeding is often a sign of gum inflammation. Persistent bleeding needs an assessment to distinguish inflammation from disease affecting the supporting tissues. Gum measurements and X-rays, when indicated, help determine whether home-care changes, professional cleaning or periodontal treatment are needed.

Do I need a deep cleaning?

Deep cleaning usually means treatment beneath the gumline for periodontal disease. It is recommended according to findings such as gum-pocket depth and loss of support, rather than as a routine upgrade to every cleaning. Your plan includes the reason for treatment and follow-up to assess healing.

What can I do between appointments?

Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and clean between your teeth using an aid that fits the spaces. Your preventive plan may also address dry mouth, frequent sugary drinks and hard-to-clean areas around restorations. Products and techniques are tailored to your needs.

Can I book if I have not seen a dentist in years?

Yes. Start by requesting an appointment or calling 604-874-4612. Returning to care begins with an assessment of your current oral health and concerns. We separate urgent needs from preventive and longer-term treatment, then build a manageable plan with you. The team will confirm appointment availability.

How much does a dental cleaning cost, and can you bill my plan?

Fees depend on the assessment and treatment you need. Bring your insurance details so we can review coverage and estimated costs before treatment. We offer direct billing; you pay any amount your plan does not cover. CDCP patients are balance billed for the difference between our fees and the amount the plan pays.
