Frequently Asked Questions
How much does professional teeth cleaning in China cost?
Standard professional cleaning is $69, and comfortable cleaning for sensitive teeth is $89. This includes an oral examination, ultrasonic removal of plaque and tartar, and polishing.
How do the partner clinics handle infection control?
If you would like details of the clinic's infection-control procedures — for example how instruments are sterilised between patients — ask us before you book and we will get the answer from the clinic.
What does the teeth cleaning include?
Three steps: (1) an oral examination to check gum health and plaque, (2) ultrasonic scaling to remove calculus and surface stains, and (3) polishing. In the chair it takes 48–60 minutes.
Who does the cleaning?
A dental professional at the clinic. This is a routine preventive cleaning, not specialist gum (periodontal) treatment; if the examination shows you need gum treatment, the dentist will tell you before starting and it is quoted separately.
Will the dentist or assistant speak English during my cleaning?
Tell us when you book if you need help with language during the appointment; we will confirm what support is available at the clinic.
How long does a professional teeth cleaning take from start to finish?
In the chair, 48–60 minutes; allow about two hours door-to-door including registration and checkout. Choose a preferred date when you book — it is a request, and the final time depends on clinic availability; booking at least 48 hours ahead gives the best choice.
What if I am pregnant, older, or have a medical condition?
Tell us at booking if you are pregnant, have a pacemaker or other implanted device, or have any medical condition. The clinic's dentist decides whether and how to go ahead.
What if I have sensitive teeth or gum issues — can I still get cleaning?
Yes. The initial examination checks for sensitivity and gum disease. If your teeth are sensitive, you can choose the comfortable cleaning option ($89), designed for sensitive teeth. Severe gum disease may need periodontal treatment, which is flagged before scaling begins and quoted separately.
Can I get a teeth cleaning during a visa-free transit stopover in China?
Medical treatment is not among the activities listed for China's 240-hour visa-free transit; check the visa route for your passport in our China visa guide. Some nationalities can instead enter China visa-free — see our visa-free transit guide and confirm with the Chinese embassy or your airline before you travel.
What should I avoid eating or drinking right after the cleaning?
Avoid coffee, tea, red wine, and highly pigmented foods (curry, beetroot) for 24 hours — your teeth absorb stains more easily right after polishing. Cold or very hot drinks may cause brief sensitivity. Normal eating resumes the same day.
