Definition of a Good Dental Cleaning:
A professional dental cleaning consists of scaling and polishing your teeth. Most dental hygienists take between 25 and 30 minutes to thoroughly clean your teeth. These cleanings should take place at least every six months to prevent excessive plaque and tartar buildup. Plaque and tartar buildup can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. Remember to call Lad Family Dentistry every six months for a dental cleaning to keep your gums and teeth healthy. For a gentle and amazing dental experience you will look forward to call Lad Family Dentistry in Temple City (626) 287-4094 or just click here and fill out our online appointment request.

At Lad Family Dentistry, they respect my precious time and also make sure my dental care fits within my financial budget. I can make my cleaning appointments and count on them to be punctual enough for me to take a late lunch break and be back to work on time. I recommend them highly.”

Scaling During a Dental Cleaning
Plaque is a sticky, bacteria-filled substance that collects on your teeth after eating. This plaque tends to accumulate in the area of the gum line or just below, sometimes causing tooth decay or gum disease if not treated in a timely manner. Scaling is a non-surgical procedure used to eliminate this harmful plaque and restore clean teeth. Normally, this scaling is done manually using a dental scaler and curette. However, advanced technology has developed an ultrasonic scaling instrument that cleans the plaque using a vibrating metal tip that chips off tartar and a water spray to wash it away. Eliminate your plaque by calling Lad Family Dentistry in Temple City for your professional dental cleaning. (626) 287-4094
Polishing During a Dental Cleaning
Polishing is the final step when receiving a dental cleaning. It includes finishing the surface of the teeth to make them shiny and clean. Rubber tip polishing uses a low speed, gentle hand piece coated with polishing paste used for removing stains. There is nothing like the feeling of newly cleaned and polished teeth.
