Cleaning & Exam in Pasadena, CA

Compassionate Care, Exceptional Quality

Experiencing tooth decay can be very painful, especially if left untreated. Therefore, our team at Walnut Hill Dental Group wants to make sure you are well equipped with the knowledge of the best oral health care techniques for prevention before its too late. We all know brushing and flossing are key essentials to your oral hygiene, but what are the proper ways to handle each? Make sure you are flossing at least once per day, before you brush your teeth. Brushing is necessary at least twice a day for 2 minutes at a time. You also want to make sure you are regularly switching out your toothbrush every few months for the best cleaning at home. If you do your part at home when caring for your oral health, a dental cleaning in Pasadena every six months will likely be the only dental treatments you will need to stay healthy. Remember, your oral health is directly related to your overall health, which means cleaning your teeth is very important.

Plaque and Tartar: What Are They?

Plaque and tartar make your dental cleaning in Pasadena necessary.

Getting a dental cleaning in Pasadena prevents the build up of plaque and tartar on your teeth. You may understand the process of a dental cleaning and what it does, but knowing about plaque and tartar will help you understand its importance even more. Plaque is a sticky material formed by bacteria that appears on your teeth and on the gum line. Once plaque has become hardened, it attaches to your teeth below the gum line, and this is known as tartar. Because plaque and tartar both contain detrimental bacteria to your health and are not removed by regular brushing and flossing, a dental cleaning in Pasadena is necessary to keep your teeth and gums healthy.

Consequences Of Poor Dental Hygiene

You may need face the issues below if you neglect your teeth and gums.

Tooth Cavities

Any cavities? No issue. At Walnut Hill Dental Group, we now prefer porcelain and tooth-colored restorations over silver and mercury amalgams. We can make cavity fillings that are not only undetectable but also able to strengthen a weak tooth by using state-of-the-art bonding materials.

Stained Teeth

Our teeth-whitening procedure at Walnut Hill Dental Group uses a bleaching agent with a hydrogen peroxide base to penetrate the dentin and remove stains, plaque, and discoloration, leaving teeth brilliant and shining.

Gum Diseases

Gum infections known as periodontal diseases slowly erode the bone that supports your natural teeth. There are numerous disease entities that call for various therapeutic modalities. Gum disease is primarily brought on by dental plaque in people. Most periodontal conditions can be prevented with daily brushing and flossing.

Teeth Cleaning and Its Purpose

Know everything about getting a dental cleaning in Pasadena.

If you’ve never had a dental cleaning, you may not realize its full purpose. While brushing and flossing are essential, they can’t remove all plaque and tartar. A dental cleaning in Pasadena helps eliminate buildup that at-home care misses. The process includes four key steps: First, digital X-rays and an exam check for decay, infection, or oral cancer. Second, scaling removes hardened tartar. Third, polishing smooths your teeth to reduce future plaque. Finally, fluoride treatment may be applied to strengthen enamel and prevent decay. Regular cleanings lower your risk of cavities and gum disease, helping you maintain a healthier, cleaner smile. A dental cleaning in Pasadena is recommended at least once every six months. If you are due for your next cleaning, give our team at Walnut Hill Dental Group a call at (626) 796-0313 to schedule your next appointment.

Smiles That Inspire

My grandfather went for teeth implants and had an amazing experience. The doctor was so kind and patient, the office was clean, and he had no pain whatsoever. The teeth implants looked so natural that I didn’t even recognize it wasn’t his teeth. The color, shape and size was so realistic. We came all the way from Westwood and definitely would recommend this doctor.

Staff is always efficient, but most of all they are kind. Everyone cares about the patient and are continually checking to make sure you are getting okay. Given that going to the dentist is not a fun thing to do, the staff does everything they can to make the experience positive.

- Sharron

I have only been with Walnut Hill Dental for 2 months, but so far am very happy with the quality of care. It was recommended that I have 6 fillings, a root canal with a crown, and a deep cleaning. It’s a lot, but I recently left my other dentists because I felt like they were not very proactive in my dental care. I had gone to another dentists a few months prior to Walnut Hill Dental, and they pretty much gave me the same assessment.
