About Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings are essential to maintaining healthy teeth and preventing plaque buildup, which can lead to gum disease. Typically, at Emigh Dental Care in Long Beach, CA, we will perform thorough dental cleanings during a routine exam. However, it's recommended that patients receive a dental cleaning at least twice a year (about 6 months apart). Cleanings help to brighten the smile, as well as remove tartar and plaque to prevent infection, cavities, and tooth decay. Our staff is dedicated in helping their patients maintain their oral health and would love to partner with everyone to achieve their best smile yet.

What to Expect
Dental cleanings usually start with an examination of the teeth. During the exam, our dentists will look for any signs of damage, cavities, or decay. Patients teeth will then be cleaned to remove any plaque and tartar buildup, followed by a deep clean and polish with professional dental tools. Patients will have the opportunity to discuss the health status of their teeth with our dentists as well as discuss home dental health suggestions.
Treatment Aftercare
After receiving cleaning services from our hygienists, patients should maintain optimal oral hygiene using the recommendations provided by our office during their treatment. Patients should brush their teeth twice a day, use mouthwash, and floss. If given special instructions or items to use by our office, such as specific mouthwash or toothpaste, patients should follow the directions given and schedule an appointment for follow-up.
