Teeth Cleaning:
The goal of Teeth Cleaning is to remove dental plaque and calculus. Teeth cleaning should be a routine because if plaque is not removed in time, it turns into tartar, which is impossible to remove by brushing your teeth.
If plaque is left on your teeth to harden, it can cause cavities, gingivitis, as well as periodontal disease.
Preventative measures, like teeth cleaning, are a must.
How Often Should You Have Your Teeth Cleaned?
The first step is to book an appointment for a dental checkup. Next, we will advise you on the recommended teeth cleaning frequency during this visit.
Our professional staff will make sure your gums are in a healthy state. And then we can get you back on a regular teeth-cleaning schedule.
Usually, we recommend 6 month cleaning intervals for patients with good oral health.
Does It Hurt To Get Your Teeth Cleaned?
If you have a significant buildup of plaque, the appointment can be up to an hour.
Pain is not generally associated with teeth cleaning, but discomfort is normal and expected during the procedure. If you experience dental anxiety, let the dentist know so they can advise a comfortable treatment plan.
Can Plaque Buildup Be Prevented?
Regular flossing and brushing can slow down the buildup. But there is no way to prevent it because our saliva has minerals that will harden the plaque into tartar and that is why regular cleaning is required.
Diet can also slow the buildup by not smoking or reducing sugary or starchy foods.
