Why Professional Cleanings are Necessary for Optimal Health

Even if you brush and floss regularly, you will still need a professional occasionally.

Why You Need Professional Cleanings

Even with a diligent home care routine, plaque and tartar can accumulate on your teeth and gums.

Plaque is a sticky film that forms on your teeth and contains bacteria.

Tartar is a hardened plaque that can only be removed by a professional.

1. Remove Plaque and Tartar: Professional cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup that can lead to cavities and gum disease.
2. Prevent Gum Disease: Gum disease is a serious condition that can cause tooth loss and other health problems. Regular cleanings can help prevent and detect gum disease early.
3. Detect Oral Health Issues: During your cleaning, our dentist will examine your mouth for signs of oral cancer, tooth decay, and other problems.
4. Personalized Advice: We can provide you with personalized advice on how to improve your oral health.
