Sir, the process is called as scaling and it is painless, but some of your teeth can be sensitive in some areas. Time generally depends upon the amount of deposits you have if its minimal then half an hr to 1 hr if heavy deposits then it can take 2-3 sittings .
Next Steps
Visit a periodontist

Teeth cleaning also known as scaling is a procedure which depends on your oral health, if you have heavy deposits and swollen gums it might require two sittings and if you have moderate to mild deposits it might just finish in one sitting.. then your habits also determine the duration of cleaning, if you are a pan or gutkha chewer then it might require two to three sittings..
Next Steps
Go to a good dentist.. don't use baking soda or mustard oil and salt on your teeth for cleaning

Hi ,Teeth cleaning should be done every 6 monthly to yearly to get rid of yellow deposits on teeth called tartar.Normally if the deposits are less it gets over in one sitting but in case of grade 2 or grade 3 deposits 2 or 3 sittings may be required.
