Dental Health 101- Regular Teeth Cleaning and Check-Up as Part of Your Overall Health Maintenance

Regular dental cleanings are recommended every six months and provide numerous benefits including the following:

Prevention of Cavities: By removing plaque, which is the leading cause of tooth decay, cleanings help prevent cavities from forming.

Gum Disease Prevention: Tartar buildup can lead to gum inflammation (gingivitis) and, if left untreated, can progress to more serious gum disease. Regular cleanings prevent these conditions from developing.

Early Detection of Oral Health Issues: Regular check-ups during your cleaning appointments allow your dentist to spot early signs of dental problems, such as cavities, gum disease, or oral cancer, before they become more serious.

Fresher Breath: Cleanings help eliminate bad breath by removing bacteria, food particles, and plaque that contribute to mouth odor.
