Dental exams and cleanings are vital to your oral health. Through routine dental cleanings, your Valencia, California dentist, Dr. Brian Gradinger, can help prevent decay and dental disease, which can lead to premature tooth loss. If you want strong, healthy, attractive teeth, we encourage you to make biannual visits to your teeth cleaning dentist part of your busy schedule.
Dental exams and cleanings go hand in hand. Dr. Gradinger will examine your mouth for signs of gingivitis (early gum disease), decay, or other issues that can threaten your oral health. We may also take x-rays to check your bone health and detect hidden dental problems under the gum line of your teeth.
Routine dental cleaning generally involves:
Routine dental cleanings don’t generally cause pain, especially if you’ve been seeing a dentist regularly. If you’ve been lax in your dental care and have extensive plaque or tartar build-up on your teeth, you may experience pain or discomfort due to gum inflammation or sensitivity. We may need to deep clean your teeth to eliminate plaque and harmful bacteria from beneath the gum line. This can be done using a numbing gel or local anesthetic to avoid discomfort and pain.
