Expert Dental Cleaning with a Gentle Touch

Why is Professional Teeth Cleaning So Important?

There’s no doubt that regular brushing and flossing at home is essential for healthy teeth and gums. However, good habits at home are not enough to ensure your mouth is as healthy as it should be. That’s why we recommend regular cleanings along with the occasional deep cleaning.

When you visit Glendale Dental Group for a cleaning, we’ll start by scaling your teeth to remove plaque on the tooth as well as below the gum line. Our gentle methods and specialized equipment allows us to perform the essential cleaning in a way that is much more comfortable for our patients.

Our experienced dental professionals will then thoroughly polish your teeth to help fight against future buildups of plaque and bacteria.

Your visit will end with detailed home care instructions to help you maintain a healthy smile free of plaque buildup and harmful bacteria.

Who Performs Dental Cleanings?

Our dental cleaning services are performed by registered dental hygienists with extensive experience in deep cleaning. You can count on top quality care. Our dental hygienists will help you in a few key ways.

Home Care Instructions: You’ll get an overview of the most effective brushing and flossing methods and learn how to make sure no areas of your mouth are missed.

Plaque Removal: Plaque is a common bacteria that bonds to teeth and can be difficult to see and remove. Over time, this plaque will harden and cause irritation to your gums and other tissue. If left untreated, this will lead to periodontal disease, which can be very painful and lead to rapid tooth decay.

Calculus Removal: When plaque hardens, it becomes calculus. Once this happens, it cannot be removed by brushing and flossing at home and will require professional cleaning. We have the specialized equipment needed to remove calculus and prevent periodontal disease.

Polishing of Teeth: This part of the process involves removing stains and polishing hard-to-reach areas that are typically missed when brushing and flossing at home.
