To maintain the best oral health possible, it is recommended that you visit the dentist for a professional teeth cleaning twice each year. In addition to your regular checkup exam, dental cleaning is essential to your oral health maintenance and preventive care. During your dental cleaning at our clinic, your dental hygienist will gently remove tartar and plaque before they polish and deep clean the surfaces of the teeth. You may also receive a thorough, professional flossing and fluoride treatment to finish.
Even with diligent brushing some spots between the teeth can be missed, and even the most attentive flossing won’t clean all the plaque that hides beneath the gum line. When plaque bacteria is missed in hard-to-reach places, it hardens into tartar which can only be removed by a professional oral hygienist. A buildup of plaque and tartar left untreated can lead to more serious oral health problems such as tooth decay and gum disease.
To combat the constant proliferation of bacteria that threaten your dental hygiene, it is imperative that you brush and floss daily. In combination with a diligent dental care routine at home, regular professional dental cleaning every six months is essential to maintain the best oral hygiene possible. Fight bad breath and smile brighter.
