Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients benefit from professional cleanings every six months. Dr. Thanh Pham may recommend more frequent visits if you have gum disease or are at higher risk for dental problems.

Professional cleanings at San Andreas Family Dental are gentle and typically painless. If you have sensitive teeth or gums, let us know and we can adjust our approach.

Skipping cleanings allows plaque to harden into tartar, which can only be removed professionally. This increases your risk of cavities, gum disease, and eventually tooth loss.

A typical cleaning appointment at San Andreas Family Dental takes 45-60 minutes, including the examination and any X-rays needed.
