Out of curiosity, how long "should" a typical dental cleaning and check-up take these days for an adult with no special considerations? (I mean time in exam chair, not time in waiting room.) My visits got faster when my dentist's office switched (regretably IMO) from hand-scraping tartar to using an ultrasonic gizmo, but even so I was surprised by how quickly I got through a check-up on Monday and I lack other relevant data. Help plug my data gaps, LJ brain trust. :-)

Mine still cleans by hand ... about 20 minutes or so. It's been like this for at least the past 4 or 5 years.
