Your hygienist measures the gum pockets, removes plaque and tartar (scaling), polishes the teeth, and may apply fluoride. You also get personalised advice on brushing, flossing and any areas that need extra attention.
Scaling and root planing is a deeper cleaning for gum disease. It removes tartar and bacteria from below the gumline and smooths the root surfaces so the gums can reattach. It is often done one section of the mouth at a time with local anaesthetic.
Deep cleaning is usually priced per quadrant (a quarter of the mouth) and typically costs about $200 to $400 per quadrant. Most insurance plans cover a large share, and eligible patients may be covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP).
After gum disease treatment, periodontal maintenance cleanings every three to four months help keep the infection under control and prevent it from coming back.
Yes. Plaque, tartar and gum infection are among the most common causes of persistent bad breath. A professional cleaning plus good home care, including cleaning your tongue, often improves it. If it continues, we look for other causes such as dry mouth or a decayed tooth.
A routine hygiene visit usually takes 45 to 60 minutes. Deep cleaning appointments can take longer and may be split across two or more visits.
Most people need a cleaning every six months. If you have gum disease or build up tartar quickly, every three to four months is often recommended.
The area is numbed with local anaesthetic, so it should not hurt during treatment. Your gums may feel tender for a few days afterwards.
Yes. Cleanings, scaling and gum maintenance are covered by the Canadian Dental Care Plan for eligible patients, usually with limits on frequency, and by most private plans.
Brush twice a day with a soft brush and fluoride toothpaste, clean between your teeth daily, clean your tongue, and cut down on sugary snacks and drinks.
