01 – Routine Care
When should you book a cleaning and checkup?
A cleaning and checkup may be worth booking when:
It has been a while since your last professional cleaning
You have noticed staining or a change in how your teeth look
You can feel buildup or rough areas on your teeth
You are a new patient and want a clear starting point for your dental care
Your gums bleed or feel tender when you brush or floss
You want to catch small concerns before they become larger ones
02 – Prevention First
Dental cleaning and checkup at 6ix Eglinton Dental
A dental cleaning and checkup is a preventive visit with two parts. A dental hygienist removes plaque and hardened buildup that brushing and flossing at home cannot fully reach, and the dentist examines your teeth and gums for signs of decay, gum concerns, and other changes.
How often you should come in depends on your oral health, not on a fixed calendar. Some patients do well with less frequent visits, while others benefit from a shorter interval. After your examination, the clinic recommends a schedule based on what was actually found.
If anything needs attention, the dentist explains the finding in plain language and discusses your options before any treatment is planned. Nothing proceeds without your decision.

Who performs the dental cleaning?

There is no single interval that suits everyone. The right frequency depends on your oral health, risk factors, and history, and the clinic recommends a schedule after your examination.
What if my teeth or gums are sensitive?
Let the team know before the cleaning begins. The hygienist discusses your sensitivity first and can adjust the approach during the cleaning.
