Dental Cleanings

A dental cleaning is recommended every 6-12 months to help maintain healthy teeth and gums, although some may require this procedure every 3 months.

A dental cleaning is a crucial component of dental care that you really shouldn’t do without. In a way, they’re just as important as brushing your teeth.

Through dental cleanings, a dental hygienist can effectively remove deposits and plaque from your teeth, which can accumulate even if you brush and floss frequently. The procedure includes scaling and then polishing the teeth.

The procedure also reduces the risk of developing gum disease, as it can remove plaque and bacteria in the gum pockets and gum lines. Moreover, it prevents you from getting bad breath as well.

Finally, with regular dental cleanings, your dentist can monitor any changes in your oral health. They can check for signs of impending dental problems including cavities and diseases like oral cancer.

If you haven’t had a dental cleaning for a while now, please be sure to inform your dentist.
