A dental cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, is a professional teeth cleaning procedure performed by a dentist or a dental hygienist. This treatment goes beyond regular brushing and flossing, removing the built-up plaque, biofilm, and tartar that lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Professional cleanings do more than give you a beautiful smile, since they also remove the bacteria behind serious oral health issues. Our mission is to make sure our patients have the best oral care possible. The best way to do that is through regular checkups and teaching good oral hygiene at home.
Professional cleaning removes all of the plaque and tartar buildup that regular brushing at home simply cannot eliminate on its own, no matter how careful you are.
Removing the hardened buildup and the bacteria living beneath it prevents both tooth decay and gum disease from ever taking hold in your mouth in the first place.
Polishing lifts away the surface stains left behind by coffee, tea, and everyday foods, which enhances your smile and eliminates odor-causing bacteria as well over time.
Every cleaning allows for the early detection of oral health issues, which saves you money in the long run by preventing far more serious dental problems later.
Here is a step-by-step guide to what you can expect during your dental cleaning at Smile Tustin by Dr. Ezzy.
Request an AppointmentYour hygienist begins by carefully examining your mouth for any obvious issues, which shapes the rest of the visit before the cleaning itself gets underway.
Using specialized tools, the hygienist carefully removes all plaque and tartar from your teeth and along the gum line, where buildup collects.
Your teeth are polished to remove surface stains, and then the hygienist flosses between them to clear any plaque left behind between each one of your teeth.
A fluoride treatment may be applied at this stage to protect your newly cleaned teeth and strengthen the enamel further against any decay between your visits.
Our expert dentist examines your teeth and gums, then discusses the findings and recommendations before you leave and answers any questions that you have.
Six Months — More than six months have passed since your last professional cleaning, the standard interval for most healthy adults with no history of gum disease.
Visible Buildup — You can see visible plaque or hardened tartar along the gum line, in the places where a toothbrush at home cannot reach well with a brush at home.
Persistent Breath — Bad breath lingers no matter how carefully you brush, which often points to odor-causing bacteria beneath your gums and along the surface of your tongue.
Bleeding Gums — Your gums bleed when you brush or floss at home, which is an early sign of gum disease and may call for a deeper cleaning rather than a routine prophylaxis.
We put preventive care ahead of everything else. Stopping problems early beats repairing them later.

Real Patients, Real Stories
I can't say enough positive things about Dr. Swenson and his staff! They are professional, yet personable and really care about my health and happiness. I relocated to Wa and even scheduled my regular cleanings while visiting in Ca to continue working with Dr. Swenson. His team work really hard to squeeze me with my busy schedule and they always follow up with sincerity and thoughtfulness when I am in the office. The team truly cares about their patients. I highly recommend working with Dr. Robert Swenson!
I love this place! Been going here for 8+ years and they treat us like family. My entire family goes to get all our dental work done here. Cleanings to Invisiline to retainers and fillers. I have never had a bad experience and Dr. Swenson will do anything for his patients. His staff are consistent and knowledgeable.
Dr Ezzy and staff were all absolutely amazing. My cleaning was the best I have ever had. She was so gentle and made me feel at ease even though I hadn’t been for a cleaning in a while. Dr Ezzy was compassionate, caring and very thorough. She spent time explaining things and setting a plan moving forward. I highly recommend!
My scheduled semi-annual cleaning was On time and I received professional advice concerning my gums
I had my cleaning appointment yesterday. The dental hygienist Daisy is excellent. The office staff and the dentist are top notch. I highly recommend them!
I had such a fantastic experience at Dr. Ezzy's office! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly by the front desk staff who made me feel completely at ease. The office was clean, modern, and had a very calming atmosphere. Dr. Ezzy was not only incredibly professional but also kind, patient, and thorough. They took the time to explain every step of the process and answered all of my questions without rushing. I felt genuinely cared for, not just like another appointment on the schedule. The hygienist did a wonderful job with my cleaning—gentle yet effective—and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Even the X-rays and exam were quick and painless. I especially appreciated how transparent they were about my dental health and any recommended treatments. No pressure—just honest advice. I left feeling confident, cared for, and actually looking forward to my next visit (which I never thought I’d say about the dentist!). Highly recommend this office to anyone looking for quality care with a personal touch!
The most gentle and thorough dental cleaning I’ve ever experienced. It’s clear that the team at Smile Tustin enjoys their work—and one another—which creates such a positive and welcoming environment. Dr. Ezzy’s warmth sets the tone, and the level of care and experience she brings to each exam is truly exceptional and deeply appreciated. Daisy and Samantha are delightful with me and warm and engaging with my disabled adult child.
From the moment my wife and I walked into Dr. Ezzy's office, we felt welcomed and cared for. Their diligence, professionalism, and gentle approach made our visit a truly positive experience. Whether it is routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, they take the time to explain everything and ensure comfort throughout. We highly recommend Smile Tustin by Dr. Ezzy for your dental care.
Everyone one is very nice. My cleaning was very painless. She really knows her job. I like the fact that they use a high pressure water tool to remove stains. Less scrapping this way.
I had been a patient of Dr Swenson for many years & had concerns when he retired about his replacement. I’ve now had a routine appointment and a crown replacement and am very pleased with the services and the outcome. Dr. Exit is professional, gentle & personable. Her technique is excellent and she takes the time to let you know what is going on with your teeth so you can apply preventative measures to protect your teeth & gums.
Dr.Ezzy is diligent, professional, caring. I appreciate the amount of information and options Dr. Ezzy provides regarding potential treatments without trying to 'sell' a particular plan. Also appreciate the amount of time spent explaining options and treatments. In addition I truly appreciate hygienist Vicki for her excellent cleaning skills and most importantly, she is extremely considerate, kind, professional and conveys a feeling of genuine care for her patients. Office staff also very professional and offer great communication and support. Great team, highly recommend!
This office is amazing! From the friendly front office to the delightful dental assistant to my cleaning by THE greatest hygienist EVER, you will NOT be disappointed! Dr Swenson is warm and gentle and obviously knows what he is doing. I could not have been more pleased. Make you appointment today and join the family🥰
