Why Regular Teeth Cleaning is Important
Teeth cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on your teeth, and tartar is a hard deposit that forms when plaque isn’t removed.
Regular teeth cleanings can help prevent these problems, and they also leave your teeth looking and feeling their best. Dental cleanings are an essential part of preventive dentistry.

What is the Process Like for Getting a Teeth Cleaning?
The teeth cleaning process is relatively simple. First, your dentist or dental hygienist will remove any plaque and tartar from your teeth using special instruments. Next, they will thoroughly clean your teeth with a rotating brush and toothpaste. Finally, they will floss your teeth and polish them to leave them looking shiny and new!
You may also get an additional exam to check for cavities and other problems as well. X-Rays may be needed in order to give you the best and most complete examination in checking for potential problems.
