Dental cleaning involves the removal of dental plaque and tartar from teeth with the intention of preventing cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, and periodontal disease.
Dental cleaning involves the removal of dental plaque and tartar from teeth with the intention of preventing cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, and periodontal disease. A professional dental cleaning is recommended at least twice a year to improve and maintain oral health.
This professional dental cleaning reinforces the home-care oral health regimen of brushing and flossing and gives the dentist an opportunity to locate areas in the mouth that may need special attention.
Dental cleanings also:
Prevent tooth loss
Prevent gum disease
Detect dental problems early on
Prevent the need for extensive and expensive treatments
Provide fresher breath
Brighten your smile
For optimal oral health, we recommend that all our patients schedule a dental cleaning at least every six months. A teeth cleaning will remove plaque and tartar buildup as well as stains.
