If you need a routine teeth cleaning in Southern California, come and visit Downey Dental Arts. Our professional, friendly dental hygienists will help you maintain a healthy, sparkling smile. Our routine teeth cleanings help keep our Downey dental patients smiling, and the benefits will last for years to come.
A routine teeth cleaning is a professional cleaning performed by a trained and experienced dental hygienist. These cleanings are a vital part of your overall dental hygiene. While brushing and flossing every day is also extremely important, it can only do so much. A professional routine teeth cleaning at Downey Dental Arts will reach those places that your toothbrush and floss can’t reach.
According to the American Dental Association, everyone should get at least two professional teeth cleanings each year. In some cases, we may recommend that you get regular teeth cleanings more frequently.
Periodontitis (aka gum disease) is a condition whereby the gums are infected and inflamed by bacteria feeding on plaque and tartar buildup. In cases such as gingivitis (gum inflammation) and periodontitis (full-blown gum disease), we may recommend that you receive periodontal cleanings instead of routine teeth cleanings. Periodontal cleanings are very much like routine cleanings, but they go a little deeper to really get to the plaque below the gumline.
Do you want fresh breath and a winning smile? Then come to Downey Dental Arts for your twice-yearly routine teeth cleaning. The benefits of a professional dental cleaning include:
When you visit our clean and modern dental office in Downey, California, we will get you situated in a comfortable and private chair for your routine teeth cleaning. Our highly trained dental hygienist will be using several tools, including a simple metal tool to gently scrape the teeth, to clean the plaque and tartar. Sometimes, they may use an ultrasound device to remove extremely stubborn plaque buildup.
A suction tube is placed into the mouth to remove any saliva buildup and debris from the teeth cleaning. Don’t worry. It’s pretty comfortable!
After the cleaning, the dental hygienist will rinse your mouth, floss your teeth, and polish them using a toothpaste flavor of your choice.
Routine teeth cleanings are very affordable and can range from $75 to $150. Often, your dental health insurance will cover all or least a good portion of the cost of a routine teeth cleaning. Routine periodontal cleanings may cost a little extra, and you may need additional coverage if you want your dental insurance to help pay for it. However, the money you will save in the long run by getting routine teeth cleanings twice per year will be well worth it!
