A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing. Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.
"San Ramon Dental Excellence is by far the best dental office I have been to. Dr. Divian Patel is highly knowledgeable, professional and courteous. He did an amazing job on my two front teeth which gave me a new confident smile and the work he has done for my family is second to none! His staff are welcoming, professional and easy to talk to. I wish I had found Dr. Patel sooner. I highly recommend him to everyone!"
