What Is A Dental Cleaning?

A dental cleaning includes an evaluation of your entire mouth including your teeth, gums and tongue. A professional cleaning thoroughly cleans your entire mouth, removing plaque and tartar buildup. Additional treatments such as a fluoride rinse may also be given. After examining your entire mouth, your dentist will inform you of any dental concerns and recommend treatment if needed. Up-to-date technology like our VELscope® intraoral screening tool helps give you a great dental experience and exceptional dental care. This special tool is used to detect oral cancer and oral health issues that can be invisible to the naked eye.

Regular Appointments Can Identify Gum Disease

Gum disease affects many Americans, and many don’t recognize the early symptoms. For this reason, it’s important to consistently visit your dentist so gum disease can be caught and treated early. The beginning stage of gum disease is called gingivitis and begins when plaque and tartar builds up above and below the gumline. When left untreated, gum disease can worsen and lead to periodontitis, which can lead to tooth loss. Regular dental cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup to prevent or treat symptoms of gum disease. Untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss, receding gum lines and other oral or systemic health risks.

How Often Should I Schedule Regular Dental Cleanings?

Typically, cleanings are recommended every six months. Your dentist may recommend more cleanings throughout the year depending on the health of your smile. Regular cleanings are important at every stage of life, from young to old. At-home oral care including brushing twice a day and flossing regularly is recommended for healthy teeth and gums. Regular professional cleanings combined with at-home care will help you maintain a healthy smile!

I had an excellent first experience at Ingleside Dental. The cleaning and filling performed today was painless and the staff was very attentive to my needs. They fixed a damaged front tooth and gave me confidence in my smile once again. I have follow up appointments for additional work, and I’m confident that they will take care of all my dental needs!!

My mom doesn’t speak English, and she needed an urgent molar extraction (#2 molar) due to severe pain. When I called Ingleside Family Dental, where she is a patient and Dr. Mathew was amazing and offered to come at early the following day. They provided next-day care and were incredibly patient, making sure my mom felt comfortable even with the language barrier. The procedure was quick and professional, and the staff made sure I understood everything so I could explain it to her. Thanks to Dr. Mathew and the team, my mom is recovering well. I’m so grateful for their kindness and expertise — highly recommend them!

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Mathew at Ingleside Family Dental! I was in severe pain and needed urgent care, and they were able to see me the very next morning by coming to the clinic at 6 am before all the other patients. Dr. Mathew was so compassionate and professional—she made the whole experience of having my #2 molar removed surprisingly easy. The procedure was quick, efficient, and practically painless, and I felt genuinely cared for every step of the way. The whole team was friendly, and the office had a welcoming, calm atmosphere that made a tough situation much better. If you’re in need of a dentist who truly prioritizes patient care and efficiency, look no further than Dr. Mathew and Ingleside Family Dental! Highly recommend!
