Overdue for cleaning your teeth? Our dentists can help!

All ages can benefit from preventative dentistry and regular teeth cleaning appointments. These twice-yearly visits can help stop tooth decay, gingivitis, halitosis (chronic bad breath), and periodontal disease. When we work together, your mouth stays healthy, and your smile looks its best!

The Benefits of Professional Teeth Cleaning

When you visit The Dental Health Group in Canoga Park for routine teeth cleaning, our dentists will take you through a multi-step process to help you look your best and stay healthy. Here’s what you can expect from routine teeth cleaning appointments:

1. Plaque removal. Tartar and plaque develop on your teeth and above and below the gum line. While this buildup is a natural result of eating and drinking, failure to remove it can result in periodontal problems. While following a routine of twice daily brushing and flossing at home helps, home care is not enough to remove all bacteria and deposits from the teeth and gums. The only way to completely clean the teeth and gums is by visiting the dentist. An experienced dentist or dental hygienist will use specialized dental equipment to remove damaging buildup and check for signs of infection, tooth decay, and oral cancers.
2. Fresher breath. Do you have bad breath even after you’ve brushed your teeth? Chances are it’s a sign of developing periodontal disease. Routine teeth cleanings can combat this problem by removing the buildup of plaque and bacteria in the mouth. Visiting the dentist for professional teeth cleaning can improve bad breath and stop gum disease in its tracks.
3. A healthier-looking smile. Stained and yellowed teeth can wreck your smile and lower your self-esteem. Routine teeth cleanings and cosmetic dentistry options can rid your teeth of these unsightly stains.

How often should I schedule routine teeth cleanings?

Routine cleanings should be scheduled twice a year, but those who experience difficulty with home care (due to arthritis, reduced mobility, or sensory challenges) should schedule routine teeth cleaning with a dentist more frequently. The Dental Health Group staff can provide you with an appointment schedule that meets your unique health needs.

What can I expect during dental cleanings?

Regular teeth cleaning with our dentist consists of evaluating your mouth for gum disease, inflammation, pocketing of the gums, tartar buildup, and stains caused by food, smoking, or medication. We will also clean, floss, and polish your teeth, examine your x-rays and discuss any additional treatments that may be needed.
