- Smooth polishing for a brighter smile
- Expert flossing that reaches tricky spots

- Early detection of cavities and gum issues
What's Included
Each cleaning begins with a quick exam by our hygienist, who checks for inflamed gums, cavities, or other concerns. We then gently remove plaque and tartar with a specialized scaler, polish your teeth to lift surface stains, and provide thorough professional flossing. We finish with a refreshing rinse and a fluoride treatment, available in a foamy gel or varnish, to help protect your enamel for months.
Why It Matters
Regular cleanings remove the plaque and tartar that lead to gingivitis, periodontitis, and cavities, all of which can cause tooth loss if ignored. They also keep your breath fresh and give us a chance to catch small problems early. Because poor oral health has been linked to conditions like heart disease and diabetes, routine cleanings support your whole-body wellness too.
Stay on Schedule
For most patients in Granada Hills, CA, we recommend a cleaning every six months, though we may suggest more frequent visits if you are managing gum disease or other concerns. We personalize your care plan to keep your smile in top shape all year long.
Common Questions
For most patients, we recommend a professional cleaning every six months. If you are dealing with gum disease or have a higher risk of dental issues, we may suggest more frequent visits. We will tailor a schedule to your individual needs.
Cleanings are generally comfortable. You may hear some light scraping while we remove tartar, which is completely normal. If you have any sensitivity, let us know and we will adjust the process to keep you comfortable.
No special preparation is needed, but brushing and flossing right before your visit gives us a clear view of areas that may need extra attention. If you are experiencing any pain or sensitivity, please tell us so we can tailor the cleaning to your comfort.
Depending on your needs, we may recommend dental sealants to protect molars from decay, especially for children and teens, or annual X-rays to spot issues below the surface. We tailor each visit based on what our team observes.
