Comprehensive Care for Optimal Oral Health
To ensure your smile stays healthy and vibrant, the American Dental Association recommends visiting your dentist twice a year for routine care. At Bay Area Dental, we look forward to these visits as an opportunity to provide you with high-quality professional cleanings and thorough preventive exams tailored entirely to your comfort. The primary goal of your routine cleaning is to clear away the harmful buildup of plaque and tartar that naturally accumulates over time, reaching the tricky surfaces of your teeth that brushing and flossing at home might miss. During this process, our gentle team will carefully remove hardened calculus, clear away sticky plaque, and finish with a professional teeth polishing that lifts light surface stains while making it harder for new plaque to reattach.

Prophylaxis
An oral prophylaxis is a multi-step process that is normally done in one office visit:
- A general hygiene visit (cleaning) is performed to loosen and remove plaque and calculus buildup.
- Following the initial removal of plaque, a small, rotary machine is used. This removes any remaining plaque around or under the gums. It also helps to polish the outer surface of your teeth and reduces future plaque build-up.
- Floss is used to remove any and all remaining plaque between teeth.
Dental Hygiene
Our top priority is to provide you with the highest level of service and quality dental care. In order for you to maintain great oral health, this level of quality needs to extend to your personal oral hygiene routine. Taking good care of your teeth at home can help you prevent periodontal disease and tooth decay from developing.
It is recommended to brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily to prevent the buildup of plaque and tooth decay. Use products containing fluoride to help strengthen teeth.
We can help you establish a dental hygiene routine that will keep your teeth healthy and white. Our hygienists enjoy teaching proper oral care techniques.
