WHY IS DENTAL HYGENESO IMPORTANT?

Despite regular brushing and flossing at home, certain small areas can be consistently overlooked, particularly the challenging-to-reach teeth at the back of your mouth. Accumulation of food debris in these spaces can lead to cavity formation over time. Additionally, the build-up of bacteria and plaque increases the risk of gum disease. To address these concerns, it's recommended to have your teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist at least every six months. Dental professionals can effectively identify and access those frequently neglected areas, thoroughly clean and rinse your teeth, and use floss to reach between them.

IS A DENTAL CLEANING EFFECTIVE WHEN CAVITIES ALREADY EXIST?

Having your teeth professionally cleaned is especially important if you already have dental problems. Not only will it prevent issues from worsening, but it gets you in to see your dentist, who can then give you options for repairing your smile. There are many ways to fix problematic teeth, even teeth that have been damaged through neglect or trauma. Making an appointment to have your teeth cleaned is a great place to start.
