Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleaning

What are the Insurance Coverage and CDT Codes for Dental Cleanings?

Many dental insurance plans cover preventive care, including professional cleanings.

Here are the common CDT codes related to dental cleaning services that your

insurance provider may reference:

Our team will verify your insurance coverage and explain any potential out-of-pocket

costs before your appointment, ensuring complete transparency about your financial

responsibilities.

How often should I get professional dental cleanings for optimal oral health?

Most patients benefit from professional dental cleanings every six months, though some conditions may require more frequent visits.

Our dental team will assess your unique oral health situation during your exam and recommend a personalized cleaning schedule that addresses your specific needs. Ready to establish your optimal cleaning routine?

Call (301) 377-8306 to schedule your next appointment with our gentle hygiene team.

What's the difference between regular dental cleaning and deep cleaning treatments?

A regular dental cleaning (prophylaxis) focuses on removing plaque and tartar from tooth surfaces and slightly below the gumline as preventive maintenance.

In contrast, a deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) treats existing gum disease by removing bacteria below the gumline and smoothing root surfaces to promote healing.

If you're experiencing symptoms like bleeding gums or persistent bad breath, contact us for an evaluation to determine which cleaning approach will best protect your oral health.

Are painless dental cleanings really comfortable for sensitive teeth?

Yes! At Prostho Cosmetic Dentistry, we've transformed the cleaning experience for patients with dental sensitivity.

Our advanced ultrasonic technology, topical numbing options, and comfort amenities like neck pillows and entertainment make cleanings genuinely comfortable.

Many patients who previously avoided cleanings due to sensitivity are surprised by how pleasant their experience is with us. Worried about sensitivity? Text us at (301) 377-8306 to discuss your concerns before your appointment.

A typical dental cleaning at Prostho Cosmetic Dentistry takes 45-60 minutes, including examination, cleaning, polishing, and personalized oral care instruction.

New patients or those requiring more extensive cleaning may need additional time. We prioritize thoroughness over rushing through your care.

Our extended office hours (8:00 am – 7:00 pm, Monday-Friday) make it convenient to schedule your cleaning without disrupting your busy day – call us to find a time that works perfectly for you. (301) 377− 8306

What is the diﬀerence between a regular cleaning and a deep cleaning (SRP)?

A regular dental cleaning (prophylaxis) is designed for maintenance of healthy mouths.

It removes plaque and tartar from above the gumline, polishes teeth, and helps prevent gum disease.

A deep cleaning, or Scaling and Root Planing (SRP), is a therapeutic procedure for patients with gum disease. It extends below the gumline to remove bacteria, tartar ,and debris from pockets around the teeth, while also smoothing root surfaces to help gums reattach and reduce pocket depth.

The processes diﬀer significantly:

Regular cleaning: Usually completed in one visit without anesthesia, focusing on prevention and maintenance.

Deep cleaning (SRP): Often divided into multiple appointments (treating one quadrant of the mouth at a time), with local anesthetic used for comfort during

this more involved procedure.

You might need a deep cleaning if:

Your gums bleed easily
You have persistent bad breath
Your periodontal assessment reveals deep gum pockets (typically 4mm or more)
You've been diagnosed with bone loss or inflammation
There's visible tartar below the gumline or signs of infection

What are the best techniques for maintaining clean teeth between professional visits?

Maintaining your dental cleaning results requires proper technique as much as consistency.

Our hygienists recommend using a soft-bristled electric toothbrush twice daily, flossing with proper technique, and using mouthwash. Consider using a water flosser for enhanced cleaning between teeth.

During your appointment, we'll demonstrate the most effective techniques specifically for your mouth and dental work.
