When getting a dental cleaning at a hospital, the choice of department mainly depends on the hospital's size and departmental setup. Generally, if visiting a general hospital for dental cleaning, you can directly make an appointment with the Stomatology Department. These hospitals typically do not细分 dental conditions, so the Stomatology Department can handle basic oral treatments such as dental cleanings. If visiting a dental specialty hospital, you can choose to make an appointment with the Periodontal Department or the Dental Hygiene Department. These departments not only treat gingivitis and periodontitis but also perform procedures such as dental cleanings, periodontal scaling, and periodontal surgery. Therefore, for dental cleaning, you can make an appointment with the Stomatology Department, the Periodontal Department, or the Dental Hygiene Department. The specific department choice should be based on the departmental setup of the hospital you visit. If you have any concerns, please consult the relevant physician.
