DENTAL HYGIENE IN BAKERSFIELD, CA

DENTAL CLEANING IN BAKERSFIELD FOR A BETTER AND HEALTHIER SMILE

Our affordable dental care gives you the best bet in the fight against tooth decay

At Salin Dentistry, your oral care is our priority. Dental cleanings or prophy will remove plaque (soft, sticky bacteria) and tartar (calculus) deposits on your teeth that have built up over time. Our mouths produce saliva, which contains calcium that helps make bones stronger and also protects teeth. Although this seems to be a good thing, it also causes a build-up of calcium deposits on your teeth. Over time, it will be like limestone on a metal surface that needs to be removed. A professional dental cleaning, exam, and x-rays are recommended twice a year, along with regular brushing and flossing. This encourages clean teeth, maintaining good oral hygiene, and healthy gums. Our team will make sure this is a pleasant experience from the moment you walk in the door. Contact our affordable dental office at (661) 323-1000 to start your journey to a better and healthier smile!

TOOTH CLEANING, EXAM & X-RAY

Keeping your teeth and gums healthy in Bakersfield, CA

YOUR ORAL CARE IS IMPORTANT TO OUR DENTAL TEAM

Our dental clinic provides you with the best technique for oral health

Regular dental cleanings and exams are key to a healthy, confident, and beautiful smile. You can avoid tooth decay and severe and costly dental problems with dental care. If the tartar (scale or calculus) accumulates on your teeth, it will invite bacteria to grow and thrive next to your gums. With regular teeth cleanings, your teeth will be clean, smooth, and free from bacteria! Our dental hygienists use special instruments to gently remove the plaque and tartar without harming your teeth. Once all the surfaces are clean, our hygienist will then brush your teeth with prophylaxis paste and a soft rubber cup to smooth and shine them. We may also recommend antibiotic therapy, fluoride, or treatments to help with tooth sensitivity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Dental answers in Bakersfield, CA

  • Prevention of gum disease is an essential component of dental care. By adding prophylaxis to your dental cleaning, your dentist is helping you stop the start or progression of gum disease.

  • Dental cleanings do not remove teeth or loosen them. A routine cleaning removes plaque and tartar and cleanses the oral cavity to prevent cavities and disease from occurring.

  • Healthy teeth and gums appear clean without any plaque, tartar, or discoloration. Any unhealthy teeth or gums, especially in children, are often visible. Dental cleanings are important for cavity and decay evaluations that may not appear on the surface.

  • Poor oral hygiene leads to cavities and gum disease, among other health issues. Without proper oral care, different bacteria enter the body. This negatively affects your overall health.

  • Dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar that build up and can lead to bad oral hygiene. Common side effects of deep cleanings include temporary discomfort, sensitivity, or soreness.

  • At-home care is essential, but professional dental cleanings ensure your oral health. By going to the dentist at least twice a year, you can be sure your oral care is handled properly.
