Routine Dental Cleaning · 常规洗牙

basic
You

I am here for my six-month cleaning. I have not had any dental issues.

我来做半年一次的洗牙。我没有什么牙齿问题。

💡 美国建议每六个月做一次洗牙(dental cleaning),大多数牙科保险每年覆盖两次。

Great. Let me start with some X-rays, then I will do the cleaning. Have you noticed any sensitivity or bleeding when you brush?

好的。我先拍一些X光片,然后做清洁。刷牙时有注意到敏感或出血吗?

You

Sometimes my gums bleed a little when I floss.

用牙线的时候牙龈有时会出一点血。

That usually means mild gum inflammation. You should floss daily — the bleeding often stops once your gums get healthier from regular flossing.

这通常意味着轻度牙龈炎症。您应该每天用牙线——一旦牙龈因为经常使用牙线而变得更健康,出血通常会停止。

You

Everything looks good then? No cavities?

那一切看起来都好吗?没有蛀牙?

Your teeth look great — no cavities. The dentist will pop in for a final check, but everything looks healthy. See you in six months.

您的牙齿看起来很好——没有蛀牙。牙医会进来做最后检查,但一切看着很健康。六个月后见。

Deep Cleaning · 深度牙齿清洁

intermediate
You

The dentist said I need a deep cleaning. What is the difference from a regular cleaning?

牙医说我需要深度清洁。和普通清洁有什么区别?

A deep cleaning goes below the gumline to remove tartar buildup. It is called scaling and root planing. We do it when there are signs of gum disease.

深度清洁是在牙龈线以下去除牙石。叫做刮治和根面平整。当有牙周病迹象时需要做。

You

Does it hurt? Will I need anesthesia?

会痛吗?需要打麻药吗?

We will numb the area with local anesthesia so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Your gums may be sore for a few days afterward.

我们会用局部麻醉把那个区域麻住,所以过程中不会感到疼痛。之后牙龈可能会酸痛几天。

You

How much will this cost? Does my dental insurance cover it?

这要花多少钱?我的牙科保险覆盖吗?

Most dental plans cover deep cleanings at 80 percent since it is a medically necessary procedure. Your estimated out-of-pocket cost is around $150 to $200 after insurance.

大多数牙科保险覆盖深度清洁的80%,因为这是医学必要的操作。保险之后您的自付费用估计在150到200美元左右。
