Is It Time for a Spring Cleaning? Elk Grove, CA

Is It Time for a Spring Cleaning?

Dentist and Patient

Springtime is known as the season when many individuals take on big cleaning projects. They want to have a fresh start, and this is the perfect season to air out the house, spruce it up and get it in shape before summer activities begin. Spring is also a good time to consider having your teeth professionally cleaned, if you have not had it done lately. While you may think you are doing an adequate job keeping your teeth and gums clean, you may find that a professional cleaning can make a big difference.

Why Professional Teeth Cleaning is Important

Regardless of the time of year you choose to have your teeth cleaned, it should be done at least once and maybe even twice a year or more. Brusing and flossing your teeth at home are definitely critical for the best oral health, and a professional cleaning supports your efforts with a deeper clean.

Many people deep clean their homes in the spring, making extra effort to get every little nook and cranny spotless. This is what professional cleaning does for your teeth and gums as well. Plaque builds up in hard-to-reach areas of your teeth. After a while, the plaque hardens into tartar, or calculus, as it is also known. This pushes the gums away from the tooth and small pockets are formed. These pockets collect more bad bacteria and food debris and soon, gum disease develops.

No matter how well you brush and floss your teeth, removing that hard substance, especially below the gum line, is all but impossible unless you enlist the services of a trained professional. Removing the tartar is accomplished with special instruments. Once the tartar has been removed, the affected teeth may need to have part of the root smoothed or planed so the gum can reattach.

Stop Gum Disease in Its Tracks

There are many reasons an individual may develop gum disease. Medical conditions, hormones, certain prescription medications and other factors can cause the disease, but the main reason is poor oral hygiene. Even adequate oral hygiene practices will not guarantee that you will not develop gum disease. You can decrease the likelihood of gingivitis with regular professional teeth cleaning.

Very confused by the website and advertising as an after hour/emergency dental service. I broke a tooth this evening and was looking for emergency dental services for the earliest appointment. I called and a receptionist/operator picked up on a Friday evening close to 8 p.m. and said that the emergency dental service was only for existing patients. That isn't on the website and in fact, the top line on the website states if you need emergency dental care , call. Don't mind that they aren't able to see me, but the operator needs a better script when explaining their services and should also provide better service or don't be an after hour receptionist. She also never asked me if I WAS an existing patient. Would love to give no stars, but I can't post unless I pick one. UPDATE: So wasn't expecting the owner of the practice to call me. I spoke with Dr. Dalla and he explained in detail their policies and calmed my anxiety regarding my broken tooth.. I appreciate that he is a business owner that pays attention to what is being said about his practice and would take the time to follow up. I may have found a new dentist.

I’ve been searching for a dental office for my special needs daughter for a long time. I called many offices explaining her situation that she had Autism and anxiety and I was told they didn’t see special needs kids. I came across Ora Dentistry through my google search and gave them a call explained to them my situation and they told me they’d be happy to see her. We scheduled an appointment. On the day of the appointment I called again and explained her situation and told them she would like her sister and mom to be there for support due to her anxiety and they were totally accommodating and that put me at ease. We got to our appointment and were greeted by Bridgette she was AMAZING with my daughter she made her feel SUPER comfortable through out the entire process! I’ve never seen my daughter so calm and relaxed. When the doctor came in to do his exam on her he too was beyond nice and again made my daughter feel at ease. I really have to thank Ora dentistry for their excellent service! If you have a special needs child this is the place to go! Highly recommend it!

Two years ago I visited this office to assess the viability of getting an implant for a lost tooth. On that first visit Dr. Dalla had x-rays taken, made the assessment, provided me with options, including performing an implant on a lost back molar. I consented, and right then and there, he performed the actual implant and gave me a return appointment to insure all was healing well. Then, 3 months later, he fitted me with the abutment and took impressions for the crown. Two weeks after that the crown was installed. Not only was the work done in record time, but it has been the best fitting crown I've ever had, and I've had 18 crowns in my lifetime of 68 years. This was my second implant. My first implant was by another dental office and does not come close to compare with Dr. Dalla's work. His implant and crown feel like healthy, natural teeth, and in fact, I chew most of my food using that new "molar." I wish I would have gone to him long ago. By far the best around. He is a perfectionist, and is demanding of himself. Just what you should want in someone performing your dental work. Highest recommendations!
