Dental Cleanings

Essential Care for a Healthy, Bright Smile

The Importance of Regular Dental Visits

At Dentistry of Upland, we believe preventive care is the key to lifelong oral health. Regular cleanings and exams not only help prevent cavities and gum disease but also allow us to detect early signs of oral cancer, bite problems, and jaw issues before they become more serious.


Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing can’t always reach, while exams give us a complete picture of your oral health. Staying consistent with your checkups helps you:

Deep Cleanings and Adjunctive Therapy

For patients showing signs of gum disease or deep pockets, Dentistry of Upland offers advanced gum care to restore and maintain healthy tissue. These treatments help prevent the progression of gum disease and maintain a strong foundation for your teeth between regular visits.

Deep Cleanings (Scaling and Root Planing) – This treatment removes plaque and tartar buildup beneath the gumline, helping reduce inflammation and promote healing.

Adjunctive Therapy – To support gum health after deep cleaning, we may recommend localized antibiotics, antimicrobial rinses, or other therapies that keep your gum pockets clean and bacteria-free.
