The team at Manhattan Beach Dental Solutions knows visiting the dentist isn’t always at the top of everyone’s to-do list, but Drs. Don Mungcal and Jasmin Takemoto are here to make it a breeze with our expert care and friendly approach. Routine dental cleanings and check-ups are key to keeping your smile healthy and sparkling. Whether you are a dental pro or it’s been a while, we’ve got you covered in a judgement-free zone. We answer many questions about these services to those who visit us in the Manhattan Beach, California area. Let’s cover some frequently asked questions about these regular dental visits.
How often should I get a dental cleaning?
Our team recommends getting your teeth professionally cleaned every six months. Regular cleanings help prevent plaque and tartar build-up, keeping cavities and gum issues at bay. We love catching up with our patients and treating them like family!
What happens during a routine dental check-up?
Your visit includes a thorough cleaning by our dental hygienist to remove plaque and tartar, a comprehensive exam by our dentists to check for cavities, gum health, or other issues, and occasionally dental x-rays to see what’s happening below the surface.
Do dental cleanings hurt?
Not at all! While everyone’s comfort level varies, our experienced team makes the process as gentle as possible. If you are feeling a little nervous, just let us know, and we will walk you through every step to ease your mind. We also offer sedation methods to calm you if you are still struggling with dental anxiety.
Why do my gums bleed during cleanings?
Bleeding gums are often a common sign of gingivitis, inflammation caused by plaque build-up. Regular dental cleanings help tackle this issue and keep gums healthy.
How can I make my check-up easier?
Keeping up with daily brushing and flossing at home is your secret to a healthy, happy smile. The better your at-home care, the smoother your dental visits will be. Teamwork between the dentist and the patient leads to a winning smile!

Dental x-rays are super important because they help us catch issues like cavities, impacted teeth, or bone loss before they cause discomfort.
Why are regular check-ups so important to oral health and wellness?
Regular dental check-ups catch problems early and prevent bigger (and potentially expensive) issues from developing. Staying consistent with your visits now saves you time, stress, and money later.
