Frequently Asked Questions

Are Regular Dental Cleanings Necessary?

Yes, regular dental cleanings are essential for maintaining good oral health. Even with daily brushing and flossing, plaque and tartar can build up in hard-to-reach areas. Professional cleanings remove these deposits, help prevent cavities and gum disease, and allow your dentist to detect issues early—saving you from costly treatments later.

Absolutely. Many dental problems, such as cavities, gum disease, and oral infections, develop silently without noticeable pain or discomfort. Routine checkups help detect early signs of issues before they become serious, ensuring your smile stays healthy for years to come.

At Dental Universe, a dental cleaning is a comfortable, thorough process. Our hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar, polishes your teeth for a smooth finish, and provides expert advice on maintaining oral hygiene. The visit usually ends with a quick fluoride treatment to strengthen your enamel. You’ll leave with a fresher, healthier smile.

You should replace your toothbrush every 3 months, or sooner if the bristles are frayed. Using a worn-out toothbrush reduces cleaning effectiveness and may harm your gums. Also, be sure to change your brush after recovering from an illness to avoid reintroducing bacteria into your mouth.

Common signs of gum disease include:

  • Red, swollen, or bleeding gums

  • Persistent bad breath

  • Loose teeth

  • Gum recession (gums pulling away from teeth)

  • Sensitivity while brushing

If you notice any of these symptoms, schedule an appointment at Dental Universe for a full evaluation and treatment plan.
