There is nothing to be embarrassed about. it's the dentist job to help you out and fix your teeth.
they will take couple x-ray to make sure you don't have cavities, and to check the extend of existing cavities.
the dentist will use an ultra sonic scaler to clean your teeth, it sprays some water and vibrates to remove the stain and plaque, it is pain free procedure, nothing to worry about really. then the assistant will polish your teeth using a rotating tooth brush, or sometimes a rubber brush, with fluoride baste. the procedure will be easy and will not take more than 15-20 mins
it's important to keep your check ups with your dentist, so he/she can take care of your teeth and make sure you don't have cavities.
good luck
First, they will take x-rays if it has been a while so they can check the integrity of your teeth. Second, they will scrape your teeth and in between them to remove tartar build up (and this may take a while if it has been a long time), expect a lot of bleeding but it isn't real painful. Third, they will polish your teeth and then floss your teeth.
The dentist will then come in to pick at your teeth with a pick to check for cavities and to check for possible gum/mouth isssues.
