“Do they numb you for teeth cleaning?”

Numbing during a dental cleaning is not typically required for routine cleanings, which are preventive in nature and involve cleaning the teeth above the gum line. However, for deep cleanings, such as scaling and root planing procedures that address periodontal disease, local anesthetic is often used to ensure patient comfort due to the more intensive cleaning below the gum line. It's always best to discuss with your dentist or hygienist beforehand to understand what your specific cleaning will entail and whether numbing may be necessary for your comfort.

Depending on the patient's bone level, gum health, and amount of subgingival calculus, a patient may need scaling and root planing ("deep cleanings"), which is recommended to be done with local anesthetic.
