Frequency
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Most patients benefit from a cleaning and checkup every 6 months. If you have gum disease, dry mouth, or a history of frequent cavities, we may recommend cleanings every 3–4 months. If it's been a while, we're just glad you're here. We'll never judge. We'll simply help you move forward with care you can trust.
Cost
How much does a dental cleaning cost?
Costs vary depending on your needs, insurance coverage, and whether X-rays are taken. We're in-network with many PPO insurance plans, and we'll walk you through all costs before treatment begins. We also offer transparent pricing and flexible options for patients without insurance.

- How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning? Every six months is the baseline, but the right interval depends on your gum health, cavity risk, and home-care habits.
- Regular Cleaning vs. Deep Cleaning: What's the Difference? A regular cleaning maintains a healthy mouth. A deep cleaning treats active gum disease, and it's not the same appointment.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
Most patients benefit from a professional dental cleaning every six months. Regular cleanings help remove plaque buildup, prevent cavities, and keep your gums healthy. Dr. Sidhu may recommend more frequent visits if you're managing gum disease or other oral conditions.
What happens during a dental cleaning at Cusp Dental?
During your visit, our hygienist gently removes plaque and tartar, polishes your teeth, and checks for early signs of decay or gum problems. Dr. Sidhu will then perform a thorough exam to ensure your smile stays healthy and bright.
Are dental cleanings painful?
No. Most patients find cleanings comfortable and refreshing. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know, we'll use gentle techniques and desensitizing options to keep your experience stress-free.
Do I still need cleanings if I brush and floss daily?
Yes. Even with excellent home care, professional cleanings remove hardened tartar and bacteria that brushing can't reach. They're an essential part of preventing gum disease and maintaining overall oral health.
Will my insurance cover regular dental cleanings?
Most PPO insurance plans cover two cleanings per year as part of preventive care. Our team will help you confirm your benefits and explain any out-of-pocket costs before treatment.
