I wanted to come back for a wisdom tooth extraction and was extremely satisfied with the level of care and timeliness for the tooth extraction. Additionally, Dr. Guzman was very responsive and attentive when I had questions over the weekend.

Is Dental Cleaning Necessary?

Tartar and plaque inevitably build up on teeth over time. If plaque and tartar accumulate for an extended period, it allows for dangerous bacteria to grow and flourish next to the gums. This can cause lasting damage like cavities or gum disease.

Professional cleanings are right for nearly everyone. If you are apprehensive about getting a dental cleaning, please speak to one of our trained dentists about your worries. Our team is trained to help ease your concerns and provide a supportive environment to ensure each patient receives the oral health care they need.

Benefits of A Professional Teeth Cleaning

There are several benefits of professional teeth cleaning:

  • Helps prevent gum disease
  • Discourages bacterial accumulation and promotes systemic health
  • Leaves the teeth clean and smooth
  • Reveals problem areas that need more attention during daily oral hygiene

About The Procedure

One of our dentists or hygienists performs a dental cleaning using special instruments that remove the tartar and plaque on the teeth. We sometimes use ultrasonic instruments to loosen larger pieces of tartar and wash away any debris with water.

After the removal of the larger tartar, our dentists use a set of finer hand tools to remove any remaining deposits on the teeth. The last steps include a polishing tool followed by an application of fluoride gel to strengthen the enamel.
