Questions People Often Ask

How often should I have my teeth cleaned?
Every six months for most people. Every three to four months if you have had gum disease, build tartar quickly, have dry mouth or wear braces.
Most people feel vibration and pressure, not pain. Inflamed gums can be tender, and numbing is available for deep cleaning.
One to three years, depending on coffee, tea, wine and smoking. Polishing at cleanings and yearly top-ups extend it.

ADERSH RAM
"My wife and I recently visited Yours Dental Hygiene and had a great experience! A special thank you to Eimee—she was exceptionally thorough, gentle, and professional throughout our appointments. The clinic itself is spotless, welcoming, and very well-run. Eimee took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure we were completely comfortable. Highly recommend this clinic."

"I visited this clinic based on a recommendation from a family friend. Booking an appointment was very easy, and I was able to find a time that fit perfectly with my work schedule. I initially went in for a basic dental cleaning and ended up getting a few sealants done as well. The results were a huge improvement, and I was far more satisfied than I had expected. The staff were friendly and highly professional, making the whole experience even better. I would confidently recommend this clinic to anyone."
