Frequently Asked Questions

What happens during professional teeth cleanings in Fort Mill, SC?

During your visit, we examine your teeth and gums, remove plaque and tartar, polish your teeth, and apply fluoride if you choose to do so. Your teeth cleaning dentist in Fort Mill, SC, will also check for any concerns and recommend the next steps if needed.

Does professional teeth cleaning hurt?

For most people, cleaning is not painful at all. You might feel some pressure or sensitivity, especially if there’s buildup or gum inflammation, but our dentists will make sure to go gentle on you.

How often should I get professional teeth cleanings in Fort Mill, SC?
