Dental Cleaning

Officially called dental prophylaxis, we believe that our hygienists provide you with the finest dental cleaning in Placerville.

During your dental cleaning, we remove any accumulated tartar or calculus, the hardened deposits of plaque caused by oral bacteria. This material, along with plaque itself, is one of the primary causes of gum disease. Removing both substances, regularly and professionally, is essential to your dental health.

Polishing your teeth is the final step in your cleaning. Not merely a cosmetic procedure, polishing removes stains or plaque that was missed during the cleaning. It leaves your teeth feeling fresh and your mouth remarkably clean!

As a Placerville family dentist, we effectively perform this service for all members of the family, no matter what their age.

I just returned from living in Mexico for three years. While the dentists in Mexico are well qualified (mine worked in Tucson, AZ, for six years), their facilities are somewhat lacking if you are in a small town. I went in for an exam and cleaning. I suspected a couple of problems, but didn't say much before the exam. The dental assistant did a thorough job of taking the x-rays on equipment I have not seen before. The dentist confirmed my suspicions and gave me a treatment plan. Most impressive was Nick the dental hygienist. I have never had such a cleaning before! He even anesthetized my gums before starting to make sure I did not experience any undue discomfort. He went over the treatment plan with me, and I was very clear how to proceed in the coming weeks and months. I highly recommend Placerville Dental Group for your dental care.
