Step-by-Step Comfort and Care
From check-in to checkout, your comfort is our top priority. We begin by making sure you’re relaxed and informed, answering any questions and addressing concerns. During the cleaning, we use gentle ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments to remove buildup without causing unnecessary discomfort.
Our hygienists are skilled at working with patients of all ages and sensitivities. We offer breaks if you need them and can adjust our approach based on your feedback. After the cleaning, we polish your teeth to remove minor stains and enhance your smile’s brightness.
We also perform a gum health assessment, checking for signs of inflammation or recession. If we notice any issues, we explain our findings and discuss next steps, whether that’s a deep cleaning, additional at-home care, or a referral for further evaluation.

Premium Materials and Tools We Use
Modern dental cleanings demand more than just skill—they require the right materials and technology. At Toothworks of Bakersfield, we invest in state-of-the-art equipment and safe, effective products to ensure exceptional results.
Our ultrasonic scalers use sound waves to gently dislodge tartar without scraping or scratching enamel. High-quality hand scalers and curettes allow us to refine your cleaning, especially in hard-to-reach areas. For polishing, we use soft, prophy paste that is tough on stains but gentle on your teeth.
All our materials are chosen for their safety and efficacy. We use fluoride varnishes and gels that are proven to strengthen enamel and reduce sensitivity. If you have allergies or specific preferences, we can customize the products we use to fit your needs.
Our commitment to quality extends to every aspect of our practice, from the tools we use to the training our team receives.
Advanced Cleaning Technology

Digital x-rays offer detailed images with minimal radiation, allowing us to spot issues early and tailor your cleaning accordingly. Intraoral cameras let you see what we see, making it easier to understand your oral health and follow our recommendations.
Our ultrasonic scalers break up hardened tartar with sound waves, reducing the need for manual scraping and shortening appointment times. For patients with special needs or sensitivities, we offer adjustable suction and rinse systems to keep you comfortable throughout your visit.

What Makes Our Dental Cleaning Results Last
A dental cleaning from Toothworks of Bakersfield is not just a temporary polish—it’s an investment in your long-term health. Our cleaning protocols are designed to maximize the removal of plaque and tartar, disrupting the cycle of decay and disease.
We focus on areas most prone to buildup, such as the gumline and between teeth, and use techniques that promote gum reattachment and reduce pocket depth. After your cleaning, we provide practical advice for maintaining your results at home, including brushing, flossing, and dietary tips.
We also schedule regular follow-up appointments and check-ins to ensure your oral health stays on track. Our aim is to prevent minor issues from escalating, saving you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.
Preventing Plaque and Tartar Buildup
Plaque and tartar are the root causes of most dental problems. Our cleaning process is meticulously designed to remove these threats and keep them from returning.
We educate you on the best at-home practices, including choosing the right toothbrush, mastering your brushing technique, and incorporating flossing or interdental brushes. Our team can recommend specialized products, such as electric toothbrushes or antimicrobial rinses, for those at higher risk.

Long-Term Benefits for Gum Health
Healthy gums are the foundation of a beautiful smile and strong teeth. Our dental cleanings are essential for preventing gingivitis, periodontitis, and gum recession—all of which can lead to discomfort and tooth loss.

Our goal is to keep your gums firm, pink, and pain-free for life. Consistent cleanings reduce the risk of systemic health issues linked to gum disease, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, making this service an investment in your overall well-being.
Common Questions About Dental Cleanings
Understanding your dental cleaning experience is key to feeling confident and proactive about your care. Here, we address some of the most common questions patients have about the process, benefits, and frequency of professional cleanings.
How Often Should I Get a Dental Cleaning?
Dental experts—including the American Dental Association—recommend professional cleanings at least twice a year for most patients. However, your needs may vary based on your oral health, medical history, and risk factors.
If you have a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or certain medical conditions, we may suggest more frequent visits. Our team will create a customized schedule that aligns with your specific needs and goals.
Regular cleanings help prevent the accumulation of plaque and tartar, reduce your risk of painful and costly dental problems, and support a lifetime of healthy teeth and gums.
Does a Dental Cleaning Hurt?
Comfort is a priority at Toothworks of Bakersfield. For most patients, a dental cleaning is painless and even relaxing. Our hygienists use gentle, precise techniques to minimize discomfort, and we always check in to ensure you’re at ease.
If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know before your appointment. We can use desensitizing products, adjust our approach, and offer breaks as needed. In some cases, mild sensitivity may occur after a cleaning, but it typically subsides quickly and is a sign that your teeth and gums are becoming healthier.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Cleanings
We know you may have more questions about dental cleanings. Here are answers to some of the most common concerns:
Is professional cleaning better than brushing at home?
Professional cleanings and at-home care work together to maintain your oral health. While daily brushing and flossing are essential, even the most diligent home care can’t remove all plaque and tartar. Professional cleanings reach areas you may miss and ensure early detection of potential problems.
Skipping professional cleanings increases your risk for gum disease, cavities, and other issues that can lead to discomfort and costly treatments. Think of your cleanings as a vital investment in your long-term health.
What if I have sensitive teeth?
Sensitive teeth are a common concern. Our hygienists are trained to use gentle techniques and desensitizing products to minimize discomfort. We can also recommend specific at-home products to help manage sensitivity and make future cleanings more comfortable.
If you have experienced pain during past cleanings, let us know before your appointment. We’ll take extra care to ensure your experience is positive and stress-free.
How long does a cleaning appointment take?
Most dental cleaning appointments take between 45 minutes and one hour. The actual time may vary depending on your oral health, the amount of plaque or tartar present, and whether you need additional services such as x-rays or fluoride treatment.
We respect your time and do our best to keep appointments running smoothly without rushing your care. Our goal is to ensure you leave feeling clean, refreshed, and fully informed about your oral health.
Are dental cleanings safe for children?
Absolutely. Dental cleanings are safe, gentle, and highly recommended for children. Regular cleanings help prevent cavities, establish healthy habits, and reduce anxiety about dental visits. Our team is experienced in working with young patients and knows how to make cleanings fun and comfortable.
We use age-appropriate techniques, explain each step in child-friendly terms, and provide positive reinforcement to build confidence and trust.
What happens if I skip regular cleanings?
Missing regular cleanings increases your risk for plaque and tartar buildup, gum disease, cavities, and even tooth loss. Problems that start small can quickly escalate, leading to pain, infection, and the need for more extensive—and expensive—treatments.
Regular cleanings are an easy, affordable way to protect your health and avoid unnecessary dental work. Even if it’s been a while since your last visit, it’s never too late to get back on track.

Truth: Many oral health issues develop silently. Regular cleanings catch problems early. - Myth: Cleanings are painful.
