Dental Cleanings | Dental Hygiene Service

Brushing and flossing at home are essential parts of your oral hygiene routine, but even the most diligent efforts can’t remove all plaque and buildup. That’s why routine professional cleanings are so important. At Gulati Family Dentistry, we recommend regular dental cleanings to help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health issues.

During your cleaning, our team removes plaque and tartar from hard-to-reach areas, polishes your teeth, and provides guidance on how to maintain a healthy smile at home. We also perform a comprehensive oral exam to check for signs of early dental concerns.

Plaque is a thin, invisible film of bacteria that forms on your teeth after eating or drinking. If not removed, it hardens into tartar, which can lead to gum inflammation, bleeding, sensitivity, and even tooth or bone loss. Our goal is to help you stay ahead of these issues with preventive care and a comfortable experience every time you visit.

We understand that some patients may hesitate to schedule regular cleanings due to anxiety, dental discomfort, financial concerns, or lack of insurance. At Gulati Family Dentistry, we are committed to working with you to create a plan that supports both your health and your comfort.

If you have specific concerns or need accommodations during your appointment, please don’t hesitate to call our office. We’ll do everything we can to make your visit as easy and stress-free as possible.

Tooth Desensitization and Fluoride Treatment

If you experience pain when consuming hot or cold foods and drinks, you may be dealing with dental sensitivity. This is a common issue often caused by exposed tooth roots, enamel wear, or gum recession. We offer simple and effective in-office treatments to help reduce sensitivity and strengthen your teeth.

Our team applies a fluoride gel or desensitizing agent directly to the affected areas. This treatment helps reinforce your enamel and reduce the transmission of sensations to the nerves in your teeth. The process is quick, painless, and can provide long-lasting relief.

Fluoride treatments may also be recommended if you have a history of tooth decay or general enamel weakness. While fluoride is commonly used in pediatric care, it can also be beneficial for adults with increased cavity risk or sensitivity.
