Professional teeth cleaning by a certified dental hygienist aims to remove plaque,
tartar and stains that have accumulated on the teeth. Even with routine brushing
and flossing of your teeth and gums, tartar can develop. The professional
cleaning of teeth is a crucial part of good oral hygiene and is needed periodically to maintain
the health of your teeth and gums.
Most dentists recommend having your teeth professionally cleaned every 6-12 months to reduce the likelihood of periodontal disease progressing. In between routine cleanings, good oral hygiene
at home is vital to prevent tartar build-up and gum disease.
