Have you used your dental hygiene benefits this year?
A cleaning every six months isn’t right for everyone—some people benefit from more frequent hygiene visits to help manage buildup, bleeding gums and gum health.
Many insurance plans cover scaling and cleaning separately from your dental checkup, meaning you may be eligible for another hygiene visit before year-end—even if you’re not due for an exam yet. Coverage varies, so it’s always a good idea to check your individual plan.
Amy’s Smile Studio is accepting new clients, with direct billing available. Send me a message or use the link in my bio to book your visit before the end-of-year rush!

Your hygiene frequency should fit you, not a cookie-cutter 6-month schedule.
Six months works for some—but not for everyone. Your smile is unique, and so are the factors that affect your gums.
Some people need more frequent perio care, especially if they have:
• Braces/invisalign – more plaque traps, harder to clean
• Heavy plaque or tartar build-up
• Periodontal disease – protecting bone and gum health
• Type 2 diabetes – higher inflammation + slower healing
• Medications that alter saliva or gum response
Genetics – some gums and immune systems simply react differently, even with great home care
