Routine teeth cleanings are one of the most important steps you can take to protect your oral health. At California Dental Group, we offer thorough, gentle teeth cleaning services that help prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. Our skilled hygienists are dedicated to keeping your teeth and gums healthy through regular cleanings and personalized care.
The Importance of Regular Teeth Cleanings
Even with the best at-home brushing and flossing routine, plaque and tartar can still build up in hard-to-reach areas of your mouth. Professional cleanings remove these deposits, reducing your risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
- Prevents cavities: Cleanings remove plaque, the primary cause of tooth decay.
- Prevents gum disease: Tartar buildup along the gumline can lead to gum inflammation and infection.
- Keeps your smile bright: Cleanings help remove surface stains from coffee, tea, and other foods.
What to Expect During a Cleaning
At California Dental Group, our hygienists use specialized tools to gently remove plaque and tartar from your teeth. During a cleaning, you can expect:
- Scaling: This process involves removing plaque and tartar from your teeth and below the gumline.
- Polishing: After scaling, your teeth will be polished to remove surface stains and leave your teeth looking bright.
- Fluoride treatment: In some cases, a fluoride treatment may be recommended to help strengthen your teeth and prevent cavities.
Our cleanings are tailored to your individual needs, ensuring that your teeth and gums receive the care they need to stay healthy.
How Often Should You Get a Cleaning?
For most patients, we recommend getting a professional cleaning every six months. However, if you have a history of gum disease or other dental issues, your dentist may recommend more frequent cleanings to keep your mouth in optimal health.
- Every six months: Routine cleanings help maintain a healthy smile.
- More frequent cleanings: Recommended for patients with specific dental concerns.
