Regular dental cleaning is one of the most important steps you can take to keep your teeth healthy and beautiful. While good habits at home are important — including regular brushing and flossing, plus an anti-cavity rinse — a deep dental cleaning from AZ Family Dental in one of our greater Phoenix area locations offers extra protection from cavities, gingivitis and tartar buildup.

Even the best dental hygiene routine doesn’t guarantee your mouth and teeth are completely free of germs and tartar. Home toothbrushes, floss and dental rinse can only do so much. In fact, being too aggressive in your home regimen can do more harm than good. When it comes to a safe, pain-free cleaning, having a regular dental cleaning at AZ Family Dental can do much more than keep your clean, white and healthy.
Maintaining good periodontal health by getting a twice-a-year dental cleaning can help prevent gum inflammation (gingivitis), tooth decay and tooth loss from periodontitis. Your greater Phoenix area dentist addresses patient periodontal health by using several advanced technologies and procedures to detect gum and teeth problems in their earliest stages. With recent research suggesting that periodontal disease may be associated with the development or worsening of diabetes and heart conditions, it is even more imperative for you to receive dental cleanings in the greater Phoenix area.
Because teeth cannot shed their surfaces the way skin can, the opportunity for harmful bacteria to attach to the teeth and remain there for extended periods exists. If not completely removed by regular brushing, flossing and rinsing with an antibacterial rinse, bacteria become a biofilm known as dental plaque. Plaque accumulating unchecked near the gum line will harden and begin destroying teeth and gum tissues due to intense bacterial activity. Undergoing a professional dental cleaning in the Phoenix, AZ area is the best way to eliminate biofilm and the beginning of dental plaque.
Following completion of your teeth cleaning appointment in the greater Phoenix area, you’ll receive home care instructions on how to protect your teeth and gums from gum disease and infection. Your dentist will tell you that good oral hygiene, regular dental checkups and healthy eating habits can prevent gingivitis and periodontitis, making every regular dental cleaning less painful and less invasive.

We consider our patients part of our family. We enjoy talking with them and hearing about their kids and grandkids. Our entire practice values the connections we make with the people who sit in our chairs. The regular cleanings we give you help prevent future issues, and we feel good about that.
We care about you and your comfort. We don’t want you to experience the frustrations of a dental emergency or develop a long-term condition. Regular cleanings help keep you healthy and us happy.
At AZ Family Dental, we firmly believe in preventive care. What does that mean? Taking proactive steps to protect your mouth against problems before they develop. By keeping your teeth healthy, you’ll improve your chances of avoiding cavities and serious conditions such as gum disease. One way to practice preventive care is to get regular teeth cleaning.
When you come to our greater Phoenix area offices for dental cleanings, we can also monitor your teeth for changes, which can be the first indicator of cavities or other conditions. We get familiar with the look of your mouth and identify any possible signs of gum erosion or tooth decay. Even just talking to our dentists and hygienists when you come for your appointment can help us monitor your dental health, since you may have indicators of dental problems, such as changes in your eating or sleep patterns.
We can promise you that when you come to us for regular cleanings, your mouth will feel better. You can’t beat that fresh feeling on your teeth and tongue right after we finish a cleaning.
Another great benefit of preventive care is that it can head off the biggest issues. When you visit our office for cleanings, you can alert us to small, nagging questions you might not think to make an appointment for. If you’re coming in for a cleaning anyway, you might mention a small toothache or other issue. As a result, we might be able to catch something that could help you avoid a root canal or tooth extraction before it becomes necessary.
We know you have a busy schedule. We keep the office open later on Tuesday through Thursday to accommodate your family and others in the Phoenix area who can’t always squeeze their appointments in during the morning or afternoon. Our offices are conveniently located in the greater Phoenix area, where you’ll find a friendly staff happy to help you. Our state-of-the-art equipment and modern technology allow us to treat you more quickly too.
Don’t forget we offer teeth whitening services in Phoenix and the greater area to supplement regular cleanings. Keep that million dollar smile bright by making a teeth cleaning appointment near you with AZ Family Dental.
