Dental Hygeine

Dental Hygiene is not just “teeth cleaning”, but the practice of keeping the mouth, teeth, and gums clean and healthy to prevent disease.

Routine Cleaning

A routine cleaning (prophylaxis) focuses on preventive dental care and the maintenance of healthy teeth and oral tissues by the removal of calculus, plaque, and common stains. Typically performed twice a year by a Registered Dental Hygienist, your "prophy" is completed in one appointment. At this appointment you'll likely have an examination performed by the dentist and dental x-rays may be used to identify tooth decay and bone loss. Catching tooth decay early is critical to preventing more severe dental concerns. The dentist is able to perform an oral cancer screening, evaluate the risk of periodontal disease and often spot signs of medical problems like diabetes and kidney problems.

Periodontal Therapy will be recommended if signs of periodontal disease are identified at your routine dental visit.

Patient Experiences
What our patients are saying.

Appt went much better then I expected! Dr. Song and Wendy, fantastic, they calmed my anxiety of the root canal. However I was not aware of the time frame it took to do this. I would recommend this office for anyone. I think the girls should have a name tag on their shirts, so a patient can identify them esesier without asking.

Other than me screaming in pain from the numbing injection in my gums because I didn’t put on laughing gas and some other things, my dentist and his assistant were really good. I don’t know what his name is but while I was getting a filling to my top two teeth—I felt very relaxed even without laughing gas, I didn’t feel any pain during the procedure—very great dentists, would recommend others should go here.

Well, I was really nervous when I went in, but the dental hygienist assured me it would be OK. Dr. came in gave me a shot. Everything was perfectly fine. Never felt anything. They were all very kind and helpfull

First time having Ozzie clean my teeth. Did a good job and was very kind. In and out in 30 minutes.

Very comfortable all around, the hygenist was professional, and honestly could distract my brain from being at the dentist.

Everyone there is extremely polite, welcoming you with warmth and comfort. They care about your health and ensure you have a good experience. I can personally attest that you are in kind and caring hands. They are professional and know what they’re doing. Dr Song, Ozzy, Melanie, and the rest of the team are phenomenal!

Mike Reno

Doctor Song is very kind and attentive, the hygienists are easy to talk with and are thorough. I noticed a slight error in my bill but they fixed it shortly. Doctor song has many great stories to listen to during your service, too!

It’s always a great experience at Lakeview Dental! Everyone, from the front desk to Dr.Song, is always friendly, professional, and thorough. Lakeview is also one of the few places that offer GBF therapy (hygienist, Brenda, is trained and skilled in this) as an alternative to the usual form of cleaning by scraping. It’s one reason we make the 60 plus mile drive to Lakeview. Thank you for over 30 years of great service and care! Carol Ferlo
