We Provide Professional Dental Cleanings
Too many times we have seen firsthand or heard horror stories about patients who have visited other dental offices and not received correct dental cleaning treatment. Have you been made to feel like your cleaning is not important and received a floss and polish lasting 20 minutes from a hygienist, assistant or even a doctor? Have you left feeling like you paid a lot of money for someone to give you a “quick cleaning” to find you still have irritation in the gums or teeth when you left.
Unfortunately this still happens and is regarded as patient negligence and poor practice. Often this is not at the fault of the dental staff; they are just being poorly managed and told to cut corners to get more patients through the door. You should only ever have a professional cleaning from a registered Hygienist or Doctor, NEVER an assistant or other member of staff! It is only acceptable that an assistant can help with polishing and flossing after the treatment has taken place.
At Alegria Dental Care we care about our patients and want to ensure the best quality of professional dental cleanings at a reasonable price. It starts in the home by you cleaning and flossing twice a day, it is advised that you have two professional cleanings a year, based on the doctor's recommendations this can vary. By keeping on top of your oral health this can help to prevent further problems which can be timely and expensive.
