Regular preventative dental care is vital for keeping your smile in its best condition.
Dental cleanings handle hard-to-reach plaque and ensure each tooth gets fully clean. This helps to prevent tooth decay, gum disease, and many other oral health issues.
Furthermore, dental exams allow our dentist to check for any concerns. We can identify and treat any minor issues before they get worse.

What to Expect During Your Dental Cleaning
During your normal six-month appointments at Toluca Dental Care, you will receive both a comprehensive exam and a prophylaxis (cleaning).
Unlike scaling and root planing (two deep cleaning procedures used to treat gingivitis) prophylaxis is a thorough preventive cleaning that involves removing plaque and calculus from the teeth and gums. It keeps your smile healthy and prevents periodontal (gum) disease.
During the prophylaxis, we will also polish your teeth to remove any surface stains and give you a beautiful, bright smile.
Our Dental Exams in Toluca Lake
As part of your regular dental exam, our dentist, Dr. Pema, will evaluate your digital X-rays and any existing dental treatments (dental fillings, dental crowns, etc.) in the mouth. We will also look for any signs of oral cancer, tooth decay, and periodontal disease.
Attending these check-ups with the dentist at least once every six months is essential to maintaining optimal oral health.
