WE ARE ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS
If your teeth feel a little “fuzzy,” your gums bleed when you brush, or it’s just been a while, this is your sign to come in. A dental cleaning at Corona Family Dental is simple, gentle, and focused on prevention.
Most visits take about 45 minutes. We remove tartar (the hardened buildup you can’t brush off), polish your teeth, and check how your gums are doing. You’ll always know what we’re doing and why, and you’ll know your options before anything moves forward.
A routine cleaning focuses on the buildup you can’t fully remove at home. We gently remove plaque and hardened tartar around the teeth and along the gumline. You may hear light scraping sounds—that’s normal. Then we polish to smooth the tooth surface, and we floss to finish.
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research notes that once plaque hardens into tartar, the only way to remove it is with a professional cleaning.
If we notice gum irritation, we’ll explain what we’re seeing in plain language and talk through next steps
Cleanings are for anyone who wants to stay ahead of cavities and gum disease—busy adults, parents keeping the family on track, and patients returning to the dentist after a long break.
If you have sensitive teeth or dental anxiety, tell us. We can slow down, take breaks, and keep things comfortable.
Most patients do best with a cleaning about every six months.
You may want to come in sooner if you:
And if it’s been years, you’re still welcome here. We’ll start where you are and keep things calm.
Cleanings aren’t just about looking good. They help protect your gums, your enamel, and your long-term comfort.
A dental exam helps catch small issues before they turn into bigger ones. We check for cavities, gum changes, and overall tooth health.
Digital X-rays help us see between teeth and below the surface. We only take them when they help guide your care, not just because it’s routine.
If your gums bleed or feel puffy during your cleaning, gum therapy can help reverse inflammation and protect bone support.
Fluoride strengthens enamel and helps prevent new cavities. It’s a quick, painless add-on after your cleaning.
Sealants protect the deep grooves in your back teeth where cavities like to start. Quick, smooth, and ideal for cavity-prone smiles.
Screenings check for unusual spots or tissue changes that might go unnoticed. It’s fast and part of keeping your health in check.
