Livermore is a city in Alameda County in central California and has a population of almost 83,000 residents. It is considered the most populous city in the Tri-Valley, which is why it’s often called Livermore Valley. It’s located on the eastern edge of California’s San Francisco Bay Area. The city is well-known for its wine region and for being home to the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories. While there is plenty to do in the city, it’s also known for being a laid-back area with top-rated schools and a diverse arts and culture scene.
Teeth cleaning is exactly what it sounds like. Your dentist or dental hygienist will clean your teeth of stains, plaque, tartar, and other imperfections and impurities. Also called a routine cleaning or a dental cleaning, this procedure is relatively quick (usually less than an hour), but it is crucial to ensuring you maintain healthy teeth and excellent oral health.
According to the American Dental Association, most patients need a dental exam and cleaning every six months.
Almost everyone is a good candidate for a teeth cleaning. If you have teeth, you are a good candidate. How often you need a routine dental cleaning depends on certain risk factors and how well you take care of your teeth, but most patients need a cleaning at least twice a year.
While teeth sensitivity can be an issue, letting your dentist or hygienist know beforehand can help them ensure you’re comfortable.
At Dublin Corners Dental, we’ll start by performing a comprehensive exam of your teeth. Your dental hygienist will take a look at your gum line, gum health, and teeth. They will use specialized tools to also look for cavities, bleeding gums, and other areas of tooth decay. They will also ask you questions through this process. This is the perfect time to tell them about sore gums, sensitive teeth, or other areas of concern.
Next, they will remove any and all plaque and tartar. Once it’s all gone, they’ll polish each and every tooth with a professional toothpaste. Flossing and rinsing your teeth will finish off the appointment, and then you’ll be able to go home from there. Your hygienist can also apply a fluoride treatment to further protect your teeth, but that is usually optional.
