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.

I was just telling Tammy how I used to dread the painful cleanings at my prior dentist. She is so gentle and my teeth have been the healthiest ever in the more than 8 years or so since I switched to Emigh Dental.
Emigh dental is legit high quality dental office. And I’m an informed consumer healthcare executive myself. I’d highly recommend trusting your dental care with the team. They’ve always dealt with my neurotic anxiety with total grace. I loved watching the US Open during my teeth cleaning! Very happy to leave this testimonial as my wife got really bad dental care from another office in LB practice will remain anonymous she has since received cleaning, veneers etc in TJ. My team today Bailey, Dr. Todd (I think ?) all just great even my call with Amber prior to the visit. Rock solid team!Only hiccup was checking out. I couldn’t wrap my head around not the checkout staff not being able to provide me with the delta dental number. I paid a HEFTY fee (well deserved) out of pocket for the care. I wanted to get a sense of my reimbursement time line etc. Also had couple questions about the payment, mouthguard fees etc. and was not able to get on the same frequency with the checkout staff. Tad frustrating was not able to get answers including insurance number. Regardless - quality at Emigh Dental second to none!
I have used Emigh as my go-to dental service for the last 5 years, with complete satisfaction.Today I had a busy morning scheduled, with the first item on my list being a visit to Emigh for some dental work. I was tense, thinking about all I had to get done today besides that.As I rode the elevator up to their floor, I felt a sense of calm come over me, growing stronger the closer I got to their office. That seemed odd, then I realized why.It was because I knew I was about to enter an oasis of calm. A place where everyone I would be dealing with is friendly, highly competent, and doing their best to give me accurate treatment with no unnecessary delays.First, I had a dental cleaning, then set up my next appointment while still in the chair, to save time. Then was taken to the waiting X-ay tech where all the needed X-rays were quickly and efficiently taken.After just 3-4 minutes the doctor came in and discussed the results, and told me everything looked fine.So I walked to the front desk, paid my bill, and that was that was that. Just dealing with friendly, competent people, who are careful to treat my time as valuable.And I realized THAT is why I started feeling relaxed and calm as I neared their office.And that, along with their top quality work, is why I recommend them to anyone who'd like to feel the same way about visiting their dentist.
Jenny is the best! She takes her time with my cleanings, discomfort free, and super shiny. We have great conversation throughout the process and it makes the cleaning go by so much faster. Doctor Pat is awesome too! Always prompt to checking out my teeth and is knowledgeable.
The whole staff is exceptional! Tammy is a gem at cleaning teeth and Dr. Todd is highly skilled at all aspects of dentistry -- from root canals to cosmetics. I feel so fortunate to be a patient at Emigh!
