Professional Dental Cleaning: Often Overlooked But Extremely Important

It can not be overstated how important routine professional dental cleaning can be to your oral health.
As we eat, bits of food get trapped between our teeth, as well as in the nooks and crannies around them. Over time, these particles decay, forming into that silky white stuff we find on our teeth. Known as plaque, this white film contains millions of bacteria, and when we eat, so do they. Most of the problems come after that, because those bacteria use the carbohydrates we eat to produce acids, that erode tooth enamel, eventually leading to tooth decay.
Over time, this plaque can get stuck on our teeth. And the only way to remove is – you guessed it – professional teeth cleaning!

When Should You Get A Professional Dental Cleaning?

It’s incredibly important to the overall health of your teeth to get plaque and tartar removed, therefore, like most dentists, Dr. AJ recommends having a professional teeth cleaning every 6 months.

Who Is A Good Fit?

  • Those that have not had a professional teeth cleaning in the last 6 months
  • Those that have excessive buildup on their teeth
