Why Is Cleanings & Prevention Important?

Protect Your Smile Before Problems Start

A preventive program is a cooperative effort by the patient, dentist, and dental staff to preserve your natural teeth and supporting structures—by preventing the onset, progress, and recurrence of dental diseases and conditions.

Removes Plaque & Tartar

Stops the buildup that can lead to decay and gum disease.

Prevents Cavities & Gum Disease

Early action keeps your teeth strong and gums healthy.

Early Problem Detection

Stops the buildup that can lead to decay and gum disease.

Strengthens Enamel

Fluoride treatments help protect against acid attacks and wear.

Supports Healthy Habits

Professional advice reinforces your daily brushing and flossing.

Keeps Your Smile Bright

Regular cleanings help maintain a fresh, stain-free smile.

Our Preventative Dentistry Services

We offer a full range of preventative care services to keep your oral health in check. Here are the key services provided at Santa Clarita Advanced Dentistry:

Routine Cleanings and Exams

Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are the foundation of good oral health. During your visit, our skilled hygienists will clean your teeth, removing plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities and gum disease. Our dentists will also perform a comprehensive exam to detect any early signs of dental problems and ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy.

Digital X-Rays and Diagnostic Imaging

Our office uses state-of-the-art digital X-rays to get a detailed look at your teeth and bone structure. These images allow us to spot problems like cavities, bone loss, and impacted teeth that may not be visible during a regular exam.

Fluoride Treatments

Fluoride is a natural mineral that helps strengthen tooth enamel and prevent cavities. We offer fluoride treatments for patients of all ages as an extra layer of protection against decay.

Dental Sealants

Dental sealants are a protective coating applied to the chewing surfaces of your molars, where cavities are most likely to form. This is especially beneficial for children, but adults can benefit as well.

Oral Cancer Screenings

During your routine check-up, our dentists perform an oral cancer screening to look for any signs of abnormal tissue in your mouth, gums, or throat. Early detection is key in the successful treatment of oral cancer.

Periodontal Maintenance

Gum health is a vital part of overall dental health. Our periodontal maintenance services help prevent and manage gum disease. For patients with a history of gum disease, more frequent cleanings may be needed to maintain optimal gum health.

What to Expect During Your Cleaning & Prevention Visit

Personalized Dental Exam

We begin with a detailed check-up of your teeth and gums. Our dentists assess your oral health, review your dental history, and create a personalized care plan tailored to your needs.

Gentle Professional Cleaning

Gum health is a priority. We gently remove plaque and tartar and may recommend fluoride treatments to strengthen their teeth.

Gum Health Evaluation

Healthy gums are essential for a healthy smile. We check for early signs of gum disease and provide preventive treatments like fluoride or scaling when needed.

Digital X-Rays & Early Detection

Using advanced imaging, we spot potential issues before they become problems — ensuring faster, easier, and more affordable care long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ll receive diagnostic X-rays, an oral cancer screening, gum disease evaluation, cavity check, inspection of previous work (like fillings or crowns), and a professional cleaning that removes plaque, tartar, and stains.

Most people need a cleaning every 6 months. If you have gum disease or other dental issues, your dentist may recommend more frequent visits (e.g., every 3–4 months).

Cleanings are usually painless. You may feel mild pressure or scraping during tartar removal, but discomfort is rare. Let your hygienist know if you’re sensitive.
They prevent cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and tooth loss. Cleanings also help spot early signs of problems before they require expensive treatment.
Plaque is a soft film of bacteria that builds up daily and can be brushed away. Tartar is hardened plaque that sticks to your teeth and must be removed professionally.
Bleeding is often a sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis). With regular flossing and professional care, bleeding usually decreases in a few days.

Let your hygienist know. They can use gentler tools and recommend products like desensitizing toothpaste or fluoride treatments to help reduce sensitivity.
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, fluoride toothpaste, and floss. For extra care, consider electric brushes, interdental brushes, and alcohol-free mouthwash.

Client testimonials

My experience with Advanced Dentistry has been great. I was referred over because I learned they support Veterans! That is special and very kind.
The ladies at the front are very nice and welcoming. The music is just right throughout the office.
Special thanks to Lisa, Morgana and Dr Allen for taking care of my crowns! It was a smooth procedure. I’m so grateful. Thank you Dr Kelly for taking the time to talk to me and learn my needs when it comes to dental. I do not remember who my hygienist was, but she was awesome!
And I loved having a group photo after my procedure to represent Veterans!!
Thank you everyone- see you for my next cleaning.

— Chelsey Choy

Everything about this place is amazing! Mary and Sierra at the front office greeted me with a warm welcome and as I got called to the back, Lisa was very thorough and friendly as she took pictures of my mouth. I met Dr. Kelly and she made me more comfortable than I have ever been at a dentist office. She did her check up and gave me recommendations that will benefit me for the rest of my life. Andrea who cleaned my teeth was the best! She advised me what I can do daily for home care. I definitely will be coming back and recommend this place.

— Ryan Lopez

I have been getting my cleanings done with Andrea. She is always so gentle, and makes sure I’m comfortable. She also gives me great education on how to floss and brush properly. I will definitely continue getting my teeth cleaned by Andrea.
