Dental Cleanings at Pacific Dental Care
During your dental cleaning at Pacific Dental Care in Glendale, CA, our team provides a thorough, comfortable, and personalized approach to maintaining long-term oral health. Each visit addresses buildup, monitors gum health, and helps prevent future dental issues.
What Happens During a Professional Cleaning?
Your hygienist begins with a careful assessment of your teeth, gums, and overall oral health. This foundational step helps us identify early signs of decay, gum disease, or other concerns before moving into the cleaning phase.
- Oral Health Examination A detailed look at teeth and gums to identify concerns early.
- Plaque & Tartar Removal Gentle scaling eliminates buildup that brushing and flossing can’t remove.
- Deep Cleaning & Polishing High-powered polishing smooths the teeth and removes surface stains.
Advanced Tools for a Cleaner, Healthier Smile
Digital imaging and modern tools help us see what’s happening beneath the surface, ensuring your care plan is precise and effective. These technologies allow early detection of decay, bone changes, and gum concerns.
- Digital imaging for accurate diagnostics
- Ultrasonic and hand scaling tools for complete plaque removal
- Professional polishing systems for smoother, brighter enamel
Finishing Steps: Flossing, Fluoride & Home Care Guidance
After your cleaning, your hygienist will floss thoroughly, review any sensitive areas, and apply fluoride if beneficial. You’ll also receive personalized home-care tips to help maintain your results. To schedule your next cleaning or ask questions, simply call our office or contact our team for assistance.
Dental Cleaning FAQs
- How often should I get a professional dental cleaning?
- Most patients benefit from cleanings every six months, though some may need more frequent visits depending on gum health and buildup levels.
- Is a dental cleaning painful?
- Cleanings are typically very comfortable. If you have sensitive areas, our team adjusts techniques to keep your visit gentle and stress-free.
- What is the difference between plaque and tartar?
- Plaque is a sticky bacterial film that forms daily, while tartar is hardened plaque that requires professional removal.
- Do I need X-rays at every cleaning appointment?
- Not always. X-ray frequency depends on your dental history, symptoms, and risk factors. Your dentist will advise when imaging is appropriate.
- Will a cleaning whiten my teeth?
- Cleanings remove surface stains and brighten your smile, but they do not change the natural color of enamel like whitening treatments do.
- Is fluoride treatment necessary?
- Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent cavities. It’s especially helpful for patients with sensitivity, early decay, or higher cavity risk.
- How do I schedule a dental cleaning?
- Simply call our office or contact our team to reserve your cleaning appointment.
