King House Dental Group
Dental Cleanings
Redlands, CA dentist, Dr. Steve Tatevossian, believes that the first line of defense against tooth decay, periodontal disease, and other oral health issues is a professional, ongoing dental regime. King House Dental Group recommends patients come for a professional cleaning and exam every 6 months to ensure their teeth are clean, healthy, and free of infection or cavities. Our talented and trained dental hygienists provide thorough and precise cleaning treatments, while Dr. Tatevossian performs an in-depth examination to ensure the mouth is healthy and that no issues exist.
Prevention also includes regular dental exams, cleanings, and X-rays. Sealants and fluoride are also great preventive treatments that protect the teeth. Ongoing dental visits and prevention help avoid serious and costly dental problems and is the key to having a healthy, confident, beautiful smile.
Prior to your dental cleaning, your dentist will examine your teeth for any signs of decay, cavities and other dental issues. Then the hygienist will take away tartar or plaque buildup from your teeth by using professional dental instruments. They will then polish your teeth to clear stains and brighten their surface. Your dentist normally performs dental cleanings without using anesthesia but patients with known situations such as a strong gag reflex or anxiety may request some sedation.
We accept most dental insurance plans and offer several payment options and financing. Pricing will be based on the patient's needs. Prior to providing treatment, the cost will be confirmed, discussed, and approved by the patient.
Dentists recommend to have a dental cleaning every six months but more frequent cleanings can be arranged if excessive tartar and plaque build-up appear.
Some patients with more propensity for tooth decay, as well as children, may receive fluoride treatments during their dental cleaning as a quick and effective measure to avoid future cavities.
After a dental cleaning, it is recommended that patients avoid eating and drinking for about an hour. Then, there are no specific instructions other than maintaining their daily cleaning regimen of brushing and flossing followed by their biannual dental cleanings. Periodic dental cleanings help avoid cavities and other common dental problems, at the same time that maintain your healthy and attractive smile. Dr. Steve Tatevossianin at his Redlands, CA, office educates his patients on their best oral hygiene practices and offers professional dental cleanings to prevent any issues and help you keep a dazzling smile.
