Regular Teeth Cleaning is Important
Even if you have a great oral care routine -- and brush and floss your teeth regularly -- it's still important to attend your regular dental cleaning appointments.
Key takeaways:
- A dental hygienist checks your mouth, teeth and gums, and may consult with your dentist whether you need more extensive cleaning or treatment.
- Tartar and plaque, which can build up in crevices, will be removed and your teeth will be polished with a special grainy toothpaste.
- Once teeth are clean, you will have a mouth rinse and a protective fluoride treatment may be applied.
Your dentist will decide how often your regular dental cleaning should take place based on your oral health. Remember, regular teeth cleaning appointments are a great opportunity to identify any problems early.
"...a simple trip to the dentist can get your teeth sparkly clean and typically takes less than an hour."
