REASONS TO ARRANGE AN ASSESSMENT
When this conversation may be useful.
These are starting points, not a self-diagnosis checklist. Contact the clinic if a dental concern is persistent, worsening or worrying you.
01
Tartar or visible buildup
Hardened deposits around the teeth may need professional instruments rather than brushing alone.
02
Bleeding or tender gums
Gum symptoms should be assessed so the cause and suitable care can be discussed.
03
Surface staining
Cleaning may reduce some external staining, although it is different from tooth whitening.
04
Preventive care
A cleaning visit can include guidance on brushing and cleaning between the teeth.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A clear path from concern to plan.
Assess the teeth and gums
The clinical team can check for deposits, inflammation and any areas needing closer attention.
Remove plaque and tartar
Suitable instruments are used to clean deposits from tooth surfaces and around the gum line.
Polish and plan home care
Where appropriate, polishing and tailored oral-hygiene advice complete the visit.
Questions to ask
Understand the recommendation
Is teeth cleaning the same as whitening?
No. Cleaning removes plaque, tartar and some surface stains. Whitening uses a different process to lighten the colour of natural teeth.
How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
The appropriate interval depends on your gum health, deposit buildup and home care. The clinical team can recommend a schedule after assessing you.
Can my teeth feel sensitive after cleaning?
Some people notice temporary sensitivity, particularly when there has been significant buildup or gum inflammation. Ask the clinic what to expect in your case.
Will cleaning treat gum disease?
The treatment needed depends on the condition and extent of the gum problem. An assessment is required before the appropriate type of care can be recommended.
