Dental Cleanings

A dental cleaning is a professional cleaning you receive from your dental hygienist and is usually completed in less than 30 minutes. Cleanings should be performed every six months to prevent excessive plaque buildup. Plaque left untreated can lead to unhealthy gums and tooth decay. A routine dental cleaning should include scaling, root planing and polishing.

Scaling and root planing is the process of removing plaque and tartar from all tooth surfaces with a variety of methods, depending on the amount of plaque and tartar. Polishing completes the cleaning, making the surface of the teeth smooth and minimizing future plaque build-up.

"Google Review My brother and I both saw Dr. Goyal as children and had a wonderful experience in his care. He truly is great with kids! I remember him being very friendly and patient. I was never scared to go to the dentist because I knew I was in good hands!"
