-
How often should I come in for a dental cleaning?
We recommend coming in for a cleaning and checkup every six months, which is the standard for most patients. These regular visits help us catch small issues like early signs of decay or gum disease before they become more serious or expensive to treat.
However, some patients may need to come in more frequently, especially if they have a history of gum disease, wear orthodontic appliances like aligners, or are more prone to plaque buildup.
Your dentist will create a personalized care plan tailored to your needs, making sure you get the right treatment when needed. Even if your teeth look healthy, regular cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing might miss, keeping your smile fresh and healthy.
-

Your first visit to Tend Dental Kendall Square is designed to help you feel comfortable and cared for from the moment you arrive. Our goal is for every patient to feel like our favorite member, with a uniquely personalized experience down to the last detail.
Your first visit to Tend Dental Kendall Square will typically include:
- A complete dental exam to assess your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health

- A one-on-one conversation with your dentist, who will walk you through any findings, answer your questions, and create a treatment plan if needed
We’ll also review your dental history, talk about your goals (whether it’s improving your oral health or brightening your smile), and give you time to ask questions without feeling rushed.
The environment is designed to feel calm and soothing, so you can relax and actually enjoy taking care of your smile.
