Our Premier Dental Cleanings Give You Something to Smile About

At Craig Glick DDS, we can provide the thorough, effective dental cleanings and dental exams that you need to keep your teeth and gums healthy. According to the Academy of General Dentistry, you should get your teeth professionally cleaned once every six months. During your dental cleaning at Craig Glick DDS, a hygienist can remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth, which will reduce your chances of developing cavities. Then, you will meet with Dr. Glick for a brief exam to check for cavities, oral cancer, gum problems, bite problems and other oral health issues that may need attention. If needed, we can schedule future appointments for restorative procedures.

Outstanding Cleanings at Craig Glick DDS

“I have always hated going to the dentist. It’s not that I’m afraid, I just hate having hands shoved in my mouth. At Craig Glick DDS, it’s a totally different experience. The hygienist who cleaned my teeth was very gentle (they had small hands, that helped lol) and they were also very patient and considerate. I think they could tell I wasn’t thrilled to be at the dentist but they really put me at ease. Dr. Glick was really nice, a true professional. The doctor even convinced me to floss more, not by badgering me but by actually explaining in detail the risks associated with gum disease. I definitely recommend this Encino dentist to anyone who thinks they hate the dentist!”

Our Patients Deserve the Best in Encino

If problems are discovered during your routine dental cleaning, you can trust Dr. Glick to handle them professionally and thoroughly. Dr. Glick can provide composite fillings to correct cavities, as well as root canals, crowns, bridges or even dental implants to correct more serious problems. You can also talk to Dr. Glick about cosmetic procedures during your dental cleaning in Encino. For example, stain removal or teeth whitening services are one of the most common cosmetic procedures we provide. It is often best to have your teeth whitened right after a dental cleaning because the treatment will be more effective on clean teeth.

Oral Care Tips from Your Encino Dentist

Visiting Craig Glick DDS for dental cleanings will help improve your oral health but you still have to do your homework. You need to stick to your daily regimen of brushing and flossing in order to keep your teeth and gums healthy. Don’t give up flossing because your gums are sensitive! Sensitive or bleeding gums could be a sign that you have gingivitis. If you stop cleaning your teeth, the situation will only get worse and could develop into full blown periodontal disease. If you can’t brush or floss after every meal or snack, at the very least rinse your mouth out with water. This will rob the bacteria in your mouth of the sugars they need to produce the acid that causes cavities. If you have any questions about caring for your teeth, just ask us during your next dental cleaning.
