How Often Should You Get Your Teeth Cleaned?

At bare minimum, the American Dental Association recommends an individual to get their teeth cleaned once per year. However, this is not enough for many Americans due to a sugar coated diet, smoking habits, or poor brushing and flossing routines. Many insurance policies cover teeth cleanings every 6 months to maximize their policy holder's oral health.

Teeth Cleaning FAQ

We've compiled a few of the most popular questions we get about teeth cleaning at our office in Benton. Click on the question below for the answer.

  • What should I expect from a teeth cleaning?

    Before the dental cleaning starts, the dentist asks the patient to sit on the dental chair. The dentist will cover the patient’s chest with a protective cloth. Then, the dentist will inspect the patient’s mouth. Dental cleaning begins with the removal of plaque and tartar from the patient’s teeth with an ultrasonic cleaning device or a metal tool. Next, the dentist will use an electric toothbrush and gritty toothpaste to clean the patient’s teeth further. The rough sensation will go away after the patient rinses.


    The dentist will then floss the patient’s teeth. This removes any lodged food particles in between teeth. The patient must rinse again after this.

  • How often should I have my teeth cleaned?

    The American Dental Association recommends that both children and adults receive a professional teeth cleaning and exam twice a year. Patients with a history of periodontal disease or another recurring oral disease or condition may require more frequent treatments.

  • What are the benefits of a dental cleaning?

    Dental cleanings keep your teeth and gums clean and healthy, and help you avoid paying for expensive dental procedures in the future. For example, when gum disease is left untreated, you may require deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), gum grafting, bone grafting, or a tooth replacement. Routine dental cleanings can also decrease the chances of cavities as we clean the hard to reach places in your mouth.



  • Do teeth cleanings hurt?

    Professional teeth cleaning is not invasive at all and does not hurt.


    All that patients feel are vibrations and a bit of pressure. The dental staff could always make patients more at ease if ever there is anxiety involved. Patients can signal the dentist to stop in case a cleaning procedure becomes uncomfortable for any reason. This could be a small fidget or a tap.
