Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have a dental cleaning?

Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months, but your dentist may recommend more frequent visits depending on your oral health, history of gum disease, or other risk factors. Regular cleanings help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other issues before they progress.

What happens if tartar is left untreated?

Tartar, also known as calculus, can only be removed by a professional cleaning. If left untreated, it can lead to gum inflammation, gingivitis, and eventually periodontitis—a serious form of gum disease that can cause tooth loss and affect overall health.

Are dental cleanings painful?

Professional cleanings are generally painless. Some patients may experience minor sensitivity, especially if plaque and tartar buildup is significant. At Ashland Family and Implant Dentistry, our team, along with Dr. Ali Almaawi, DDS, FICOI uses gentle techniques and personalized care to ensure your comfort throughout the cleaning process.

Do you provide tips for maintaining oral health between visits?

Yes. During your consultation, Dr. Ali Almaawi, DDS, FICOI will provide guidance on brushing techniques, flossing, diet, and any additional preventive care needed based on your unique dental profile. We aim to equip every patient with the tools to maintain a healthy, bright smile at home.
