At Gardena Dental Care, we understand how important having a clean and shining smile is to your health and overall happiness. That is why we work hard to provide your family with efficient and high-quality dental cleanings that are sure to brighten their smiles.
As time goes on, plaque and tartar growth can have an impact on the health and appearance of your teeth. Our dental cleanings eliminate plaque buildup and ensure your teeth stay healthy and beautiful.
During a standard dental cleaning, one of our well-qualified hygienists gently eradicates tartar and plaque buildup on the surface of your teeth. Regular dental cleanings are an efficient and convenient way to maintain your oral health and to give your teeth a stunning polish. We recommend that dental cleanings are performed once every six months.
Getting your teeth cleaned at least twice per year at Gardena Dental Care has many oral health benefits. These benefits include the following:
If you brush and floss twice a day, you may be wondering why you would need to get a professional dental cleaning in Gardena. If you are brushing and flossing twice per day, congratulations! You are doing a great job taking care of your oral health! However, no matter how consistently you brush, you simply cannot remove all the plaque and tartar buildup. You’ll need to come to our dental office in Gardena to thoroughly clean your teeth, typically twice per year.
Professional teeth cleanings are a critical preventative tool. They help reduce the chance of common oral health issues such as cavities and gum disease. The tartar (also known as calculus) will continue to build up on teeth if you don’t get a professional cleaning. Tartar is what enables bacteria to grow and thrive in the mouth. It’s the bacteria that causes many common oral health problems, so removing that tartar makes a huge difference.
Cavities are soft spots in teeth that have been eaten away by the acids that bacteria in the mouth produce. Cavities are problematic in that they destroy the integrity and structure of the tooth. They can also expose the nerve inside the tooth, making eating and drinking painful. Regular teeth cleanings will help prevent cavities.
Gum disease (formally known as periodontal disease) is caused by bacteria that feed on plaque and grow on tartar. Gum disease starts off as gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums. If it is not treated, it will evolve into periodontitis, which is a serious infection in the gum tissue. The gums start to recede at this point, which leads to the teeth becoming more exposed. Teeth can ultimately come loose and fall out if periodontal disease progresses.
Regular professional teeth cleanings can help prevent gum disease, which is why coming to visit us in Gardena for a dental cleaning is so important.
Our dental cleanings begin with a complimentary consultation in our comfortable and modern practice. At your first consultation, we will take x-rays and our expert Dr. Omid Barkhordar will perform a thorough examination to determine the correct dental cleaning treatment for you.
One of our experienced and highly qualified dental hygienists will then expertly remove any existing plaque and tartar. We then will give your teeth a gentle polish and stunning shine by using a specialized fluoride and non-abrasive cleaner. We will also clear away any leftover food particles with a quick floss.
Regular, routine dental cleanings are often covered in whole or in part by most dental insurance companies because dental cleanings prevent common tooth problems. In effect, the dental insurance company saves money by paying for your cleaning. If you do not have dental health insurance, you can pay out of pocket, and the cost ranges from $75 to $150. If you need a deeper periodontal cleaning for your routine cleaning, the costs may be more.
