Regular cleanings prevent the buildup of plaque and tartar, thus helping prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease. Having your teeth cleaned at least once every six months is vital to your whole-body health.
What should you expect at a cleaning appointment?
Our Hygienist will inspect your mouth and teeth for any potential problems paying extra close attention to any areas that are painful, sensitive, or experiencing other issues. Radiographs will be taken so we may record all of your current dental conditions, restorations and so that Dr. Neilson will be able to diagnose any needed treatment.
Tartar and plaque removal is done with specialized dental instruments. You may experience pressure on your teeth and gums, but it is not usually painful.
Our hygienists use a specially designed handpiece with a flavored pumice paste to polish your teeth. It feels gritty, but usually does not cause any discomfort.
Last but not least, your teeth will be flossed to carefully clean between where your toothbrush cannot reach. This also assists in removal of any leftover polishing paste.
Once your cleaning is complete our doctor will perform a full oral exam and look at any x-rays that were taken. At this time he will inform you of decay or any other concerns he may have discovered, and explain what he can do to restore them.
We recommend a fluoride treatment for all our patients. Fluoride is a mineral that is helpful in strengthening the enamel, which is the outermost layer of our teeth. Our hygienist applies Fluoride Varnish after the cleaning and exam have been completed. It is applied to the teeth where it sets up in minutes and stays in place for up to 6 hours.
Our dental experts may have some suggestions for you to improve your personal oral hygiene. If you have any questions or concerns, you can talk with us.
Some of the home care recommendations we may suggest:
The personnel at Bloomington dental are always so friendly and helpful. Dr. Nielson is a very caring and knowledgeable dentist. I have been going to this dental office For over 10 years. He is excellent when it comes to veneers and making an individual have a smile they always dreamed of having. Plus my teeth and gums have remained healthy thanks to their guidance in daily oral hygiene.
Always the very best of care, on personal & professional levels both.
Honest and straight shooter...Dr. Neilson looks at all issues and clarifies which problem needs the quickest attension first.
The people here are very nice and friendly. They took care of me and my teeth feel very clean. The only bad thing I would have to say is my mother and I came here two separate times and we both experienced a super long wait for the dentist to come check us at the end. She said it took him about 20 minutes to come see her and I would say he took about 30 minutes to just come see me and say everything looked good. I was there for an hour and a half so definitely one of the longest dental cleanings I’ve ever been to. Normally I’m at a cleaning at other places for about 45 minutes which I feel like makes more sense than one and a half hours. Lastly, the X-ray I got taken of my teeth was one of the longest ones I’ve ever had done as well and it hurt my mouth quite a bit.
We have been soo impressed with Dr Chris Neilson. He is so patient, takes his time to answer all your questions and explains everything in detail. My husband has many issues with previous work done with his teeth and Dr Neilson has given him many options. And trying to do it the most cost efficient way. So different from any dentist we have ever been to. And the staff is beyond great. Thank you Bloomington Dental!!
Dr. Nelson is a kind, gentle, and caring dentist. He always does what is best for his patients. He treats his patients like family.
Being new here, I faced the gamble of choosing Dr. Neilson for my dental needs. He has made me glad I chose him and his staff make me feel like I won the lottery. So far so good
I have been going to Bloomington Dental for about 10 years. Dr Neilson is a caring and competent dentist, he puts his patients concerns & needs first and doesn't pressure you to do more than you are comfortable with. You are met with a smile & personal greeting. He tells you your treatment options but let's you decide what you want to do. There are a couple of office staff who are still with him, Betsy is great! Give him a try, you won't be sorry.
As always, professional, courteous and have a relaxing influence on me. They are all much appreciated 😁 you all are the best!!
Very friendly and cheerful staff. Dr. Neilson is very knowledgeable, practical and skilled in his dentistry. I highly recommend going there.

I highly recommend Dr Neilson. He is an exceptional dentist and really cares about the work he does and his patient’s pleasure in the end result. His support staff are warm, caring and they can always fit you in if you need to be seen sooner. Both Dr Neilson and his staff always make time for questions or concerns.
The friendly and knowledgable staff helped make our visit pleasant for my nervous young children. The office staff are sweet and cheerful as well.
I've been going to Bloomington Dental for years. Dr. Neilson and his staff are great to work with. They're kind, and explain what they're doing rather than just doing it. They get you in and out, but take whatever time you need to answer questions. Highly recommend them!
Very friendly and extremely accommodating will be our dentist from now on
I have been going to Dr. Nielsen since I was a kid! He is so kind and very knowledgeable. His staff is friendly and patient with my kids and our craziness. My husband went to a different dentist as a kid and is so impressed by Dr. Nielsen and is so glad that he switched over.
The staff was super friendly! I’m a new patient and they made me feel right at home and made sure I was comfortable. Happy to have found them! Definitely recommending them to everyone I know.(:
Bloomington dental is the best of the best! They have great customer service and they treat all of their patients really well. My go to dentist office here in St George!
Going to the dentist always brings on some amount of anxiety for me because of the crazy experiences I’ve had. That is, until I went to Bloomington Dental and had an amazing care free experience that took all of that anxiety away. All the staff members and the hygienists are so kind and caring! The dentist, Dr. Nielson, is amazing at making sure you feel comfortable and at ease during your whole experience. He makes sure to lay out every option for you if your having issues with cavities or a number of other things! I absolutely recommend Bloomington Dental!!!
They are making my SMILE so beautiful and promise me that it will last until the grave! Hahaha... when I am 103!! Love these guys and gals!! So nice, supportive and a true artist that Dr Chris is!!
I’ve moved from SoCal to st George and did not have a dentist here. Lots of good reviews led me to Dr. Nielsen. His staff is very friendly, personable and making appointments was very easy. Dr.Nielsen himself took the time to listen to my concerns and addressed them in clear and concise manners. I am very happy with both the Doctor and his staff! Ashley was extremely friendly and informative.
Finding Bloomington dental with dr. Neilsen was a pleasant surprise. I had no idea what to expect with my new denture. All I new was this mouth guard stuffed in my face was not for me. With sores on my tongue and gums I was ready for a life time of no bottom teeth. With the proper adjustments and much needed understanding That the previous dentist did not give. I was going to give my new denture a chance. Don’t get me wrong I wanted my natural teeth back. But That’s another story..
I had such a great experience! Each one of the staff members were so kind and helpful. Definitely a 10/10
I love everyone at the office and Dr. does such a beautiful job. I feel so blessed to have my healthy teeth back and no more discomfort.
Friendly As well as professional atmosphere.Dr.is caring and attentive! Office staff and Assistant s are Amazing !! Highly recommend:)
I’ve seen various doctors over the years but Dr Neilson is the best. So if u really care about your teeth, he is honest, shows real care for his patients, and has an excellent staff.
I am NOT a big fan of going to the dentist.However, my last cleaning at Dr. Neilson was as good an experience as I could ask for. The procedure started on time, the hygienist was very good, kept me informed of what was going on at all times and I walked away feeling much better about cleanings than when I walked in.On a second occasion I had a very painful tooth. Dr. Neilson was able to see me that morning on an emergency basis, after taking x-rays he clearly explained what was going on, gave me clear options on what can be done and fixed the problem.
I am so glad that I finally found Bloomington dental. Dr. Neilson is very easy going and knowledgeable and he and his staff seem to work as a team... a real Plus in my opinion. Everyone is friendly and kind of laid back. A very unusual atmosphere for a dental office I love it.
My experience at Bloomington Dental was very good, the staff is professional and well trained.
As an out of state patient, my timeline could’ve been problematic, yet Dr. Neilson and his staff went out of their way to create my gorgeous smile! Dr. Neilson explained the process and procedures thoroughly and provided me with the available options for the best results. The communication from his office manager was outstanding, clearly answering all of my questions. Today, my confidence level is high, and my smile is beautiful! Bloomington Dental is the most comfortable and professional dental office I have ever encountered. Dr. Neilson is an artist who has perfected his craft; using state of the art equipment (including 3D imaging) and who also educates and inspires others. Thank you for my dream smile, Dr. Neilson!
Great job Sadie and Becky thank you very much both of you. Happy Thanksgiving!
