⭐ Introduction: Why Teeth Cleaning Matters
In Bangalore’s fast-paced lifestyle, dental cleaning is one of the most ignored yet essential oral care habits. While brushing and flossing help at home, they cannot remove hardened plaque (tartar) or deep stains caused by coffee, tea, masala, smoking, or irregular brushing.
Professional teeth cleaning—also called scaling and polishing—is the simplest and most affordable way to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
But the big question every patient asks is:“How often should I get dental cleaning done?”
Let’s break it down in a simple way.
⭐ How Often Should You Get Dental Cleaning Done?
✔ For most adults in Bangalore:
Every 6 months
A cleaning every 6 months helps prevent:
Plaque and tartar buildup
Bleeding gums
Bad breath
Gum infections
Tooth decay
Sensitivity
This is the standard recommended by dentists worldwide.
⭐ However, frequency changes depending on your oral condition
✔ 1. If you have bleeding gums:
Cleaning every 3–4 months is required to stop infection and reduce inflammation.
✔ 2. If you smoke or chew tobacco:
Every 3 months, as tar buildup is faster and deeper.
✔ 3. If you have diabetes:
Every 4 months, since diabetic patients are more prone to gum disease.
✔ 4. If you wear braces, crowns, or bridges:
Every 4–6 months, because food lodgement is higher.
✔ 5. If you have gum disease (pyorrhea):
Every 3 months until the condition stabilizes.
✔ 6. If you drink tea/coffee frequently or eat colored/spicy foods:
Every 4–6 months, as stains return faster.
✔ 7. If you have excellent oral hygiene:
Once a year (12 months) is okay—but this is rare in Bangalore’s food habits.
⭐ How Long Does a Teeth Cleaning Procedure Take?
Most dental cleanings take 20–30 minutes.Deep cleanings may take 45 minutes.
It’s a quick procedure and usually painless.
⭐ Is Teeth Cleaning Painful?
No, dental cleaning is not painful.You may feel slight pressure or a tickling sensation, but nothing sharp or uncomfortable.
For patients with sensitivity, the dentist may use:
Warm water
Low-pressure scaling
Topical numbing gel
This ensures even sensitive patients remain comfortable.
⭐ Cost of Teeth Cleaning in Bangalore
At most dental clinics, the cost ranges from:
Type of Cleaning | Price (Approx.) |
Basic Scaling | ₹800 – ₹1,500 |
Scaling + Polishing | ₹1,200 – ₹2,000 |
Deep Cleaning | ₹2,500 – ₹4,500 |

✔ Prevents bleeding gums and gum disease

Regular cleaning prevents all this.

⭐ Myths About Teeth Cleaning

✔ Fact: Teeth loosen only if gum disease already exists.
❌ Myth: Cleaning makes teeth thin

✔ Fact: Sensitivity is temporary and reduces within days.
