About Dental Cleanings
Professional dental cleanings are essential to maintaining healthy teeth and preventing plaque buildup, which can lead to gum disease. Typically, at Emigh Dental Care in Long Beach, CA, we will perform thorough dental cleanings during a routine exam. However, it's recommended that patients receive a dental cleaning at least twice a year (about 6 months apart). Cleanings help to brighten the smile, as well as remove tartar and plaque to prevent infection, cavities, and tooth decay. Our staff is dedicated in helping their patients maintain their oral health and would love to partner with everyone to achieve their best smile yet.
What to Expect
Dental cleanings usually start with an examination of the teeth. During the exam, our dentists will look for any signs of damage, cavities, or decay. Patients teeth will then be cleaned to remove any plaque and tartar buildup, followed by a deep clean and polish with professional dental tools. Patients will have the opportunity to discuss the health status of their teeth with our dentists as well as discuss home dental health suggestions.
Treatment Aftercare
After receiving cleaning services from our hygienists, patients should maintain optimal oral hygiene using the recommendations provided by our office during their treatment. Patients should brush their teeth twice a day, use mouthwash, and floss. If given special instructions or items to use by our office, such as specific mouthwash or toothpaste, patients should follow the directions given and schedule an appointment for follow-up.
Dental Cleanings Reviews
I had such a fantastic experience at Emigh Dental, and I’m genuinely so happy I found this office.I originally called because I had a chipped tooth, and even as a new patient they were able to squeeze me in the following week and set me up with a full new-patient exam. The first person I spoke with, Stephanie at the front desk, was incredibly welcoming and helpful. She walked me through my insurance and what would be covered, which immediately put me at ease.At that first visit, Dr. Todd was able to fix my chipped tooth, and he was fantastic. I was worried I might need a crown, but he took the time to explain that they could simply drill it down and restore it, saving me from needing a crown for now. I really appreciated his honesty and conservative approach, it never felt like he was pushing unnecessary work.The hygienist who cleaned my teeth was AMAZING. She was incredibly thorough and took the time to explain what she was measuring, what gum pocket depths mean, and how everything related to my overall dental health. She was completely non-judgmental, which I truly appreciated since it had been over a year since my last cleaning.Cassie took all of my X-rays and was super sweet, making the whole process comfortable and easy. They also did a free oral cancer screening, which I’ve never had done before and thought was such a thoughtful extra level of care.I later came back for three fillings, and Dr. Wong and Cassie took amazing care of me. They were thorough, efficient, and had such a gentle touch. I really appreciated that they didn’t let me see the needle while numbing me, and they explained the process clearly without over-explaining or overwhelming me.On top of all that, I loved the comfort details: great music, a neck pillow, and being asked what I wanted to watch on TV while they worked on my teeth. Those little touches made a huge difference.Overall, this office made going to the dentist feel comfortable, respectful, and honestly pleasant. I highly recommend Emigh Dental to anyone looking for a kind, thorough, and professional dental team.
Dr. Todd and Andrea were very thorough throughout the exam and cleaning, scaling and polishing my teeth. So easy to work with, they made me feel very relaxed.
GREAT cleaning pros... Know their stuff ! Dr. Pat always personable and takes the time to ask about dental health ... And about me :)
Emigh Dental offers exceptional dental care because the dentists, hygienists and dental staff treat you as part of the family. Tammy is a wonderful, caring hygienist who is detail-oriented when conducting my cleaning and exrays. Dr. Todd and Dr. Pat always makes me feel comfortable and confident being in their care. The positive, upbeat vibe is also key which is why my whole family goes to Emigh Dental.
I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the doctors at Emigh Dental for creating such a warm and welcoming place dedicated to the care of our teeth and our smiles. The entire staff demonstrates a high level of professionalism and genuine care for their patients.Bailey, who takes care of my dental cleanings, always provides excellent advice and recommendations to keep my teeth in the best condition. Likewise, Dr. Todd, who treated me, is a very careful and highly experienced professional.I am also very thankful because they have specialists they refer patients to based on their needs; in my case, for receding gums.They are always attentive to our dental health and well-being. For all these reasons, I highly recommend the services of the Emigh Dental doctors and their entire team. It is a warm, modern office with advanced technology and, above all, great kindness toward us, the patients.
