Then the hygienist will floss your teeth, use a polishing compound, and apply fluoride. Cleanings usually aren't painful. Occasionally your dentist will want to take X-rays.

Your dentist or technician will have you put on a heavy apron to shield your body from X-rays. Everyone else in the room will either wear a protective apron or step behind a protective shield.
