Most dental problems are preventable. At Mint 32 Dentistry, our preventative care program is built around catching issues early, keeping your mouth healthy between visits, and making routine care something you'll actually show up for. Whether you're due for your first cleaning in years or staying on top of your six-month schedule, we make it easy and stress-free.
A routine appointment at Mint 32 Dentistry covers more than just cleaning; it's a full health check for your mouth.
| What We Do | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Professional teeth cleaning | Removes plaque and tartar that your toothbrush can't reach. |
| Dental exam | Checks for decay, gum issues, and early damage. |
| Digital X-rays | Detects problems hidden between teeth and below the gumline. |
| Oral cancer screening | Identifies abnormal tissue early when it's most treatable. |
| Personalized hygiene coaching | Gives you practical tips tailored to your mouth. |
Most patients are in and out within 60–90 minutes, and you'll leave with a clear picture of your oral health and any next steps.
Skipping a cleaning isn't just about surface stains; it has real consequences for your long-term oral and overall health.
Even with excellent brushing habits, plaque hardens into tartar within 24–72 hours of forming, and tartar cannot be removed at home. Left untreated, tartar buildup leads to:
Gingivitis and gum disease, which affects nearly half of Canadian adults.
Cavities form between teeth where brushing doesn't reach.
Bone loss around teeth occurs in advanced cases of periodontal disease.
For most patients, every six months is the right interval, but your situation may call for something different.
If you're not sure where you fall, our hygienists will assess your gum health and build a maintenance schedule that fits your needs.
Dental cleanings are one of the most commonly covered services, and Mint 32 makes it easy to use your benefits.
Mint 32 Dentistry accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), which covers routine dental cleanings and exams for eligible Canadians. We also offer direct billing to most major private insurance plans. Our front desk team will confirm your coverage before your appointment — no guesswork, no surprise invoices.
Not sure if you qualify for CDCP? Our team can walk you through the eligibility criteria when you call.

A standard cleaning and exam appointment typically takes 60 to 90 minutes. If X-rays are needed or it's your first visit, allow a little extra time for your health history intake.
For most patients, a cleaning is comfortable with mild sensitivity at most. If you have gum inflammation or haven't been in for a while, you may notice some tenderness. Let your hygienist know, and they'll adjust their approach.
Yes. Routine dental cleanings and exams are among the services covered under the Canadian Dental Care Plan for eligible patients. Call us at 647-351-8338, and we'll confirm your specific coverage before your visit.
Not necessarily. X-ray frequency depends on your dental history, age, and risk factors. Our dentists follow current clinical guidelines and won't recommend X-rays unless they're clinically appropriate.
No judgment here, it's more common than you think. We'll do a thorough assessment, go at your pace, and prioritize whatever is most pressing. Our goal is to get you comfortable and back on track, not to overwhelm you.
