A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing. Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.
" recently visited Laguna Beach Dental Excellence, and I was thoroughly impressed with their service. The staff was friendly and professional, and the facility was super clean with an ocean view. Katherine, the hygienist and Dr. Fazeli explained everything clearly and provided excellent care. I felt at ease throughout my visit, making it a positive dental experience. I highly recommend them for your dental needs."
