Fighting Tartar Is Important To Your Oral Health

The gathering of bacteria on your teeth can be a real threat to your oral health. Part of preventing dental trouble means keeping your teeth as clean as possible, and ridding yourself of bacteria and plaque, the filmy, sticky accumulation of bacteria, as well as removing food debris. Unfortunately, when you have tartar, you can find yourself dealing with a bacteria buildup that can resist your brushing and flossing efforts. Tartar carries a risk for creating problems like tooth decay and gum disease. Your hygienist can remove tartar during a professional teeth cleaning, part of the routine treatment you enjoy doing a dental checkup.

Your Hygienist Can Remove Tartar Stuck To Your Teeth

Tartar may be too tough for you to remove, but your hygienist can take care of the stubborn material. A professional teeth cleaning sees your hygienist give your mouth their attention and care. With the tools at their disposal, they can take care of tartar, and help make it easier for you to keep your mouth in the best possible condition.

Are You Taking Advantage Of The Oral Health Care Offered In A Dental Checkup?

If you want to make sure your teeth stay in optimal health, your oral care strategy should include visits to your dentist for a checkup. The typical amount of time you should wait between visits is six months, though if special circumstances make a different span better for you, your dentist can let you know. In addition to a teeth cleaning, your dentist is taking a careful look at any possible signs of decay that need to be taken care of. That early detection can lead to a more conservative restorative dental treatment, and protect more of your teeth.

A Routine Dental Cleaning Can Help You Fight Tartar

You can protect yourself against the formation of tartar by regularly – and thoroughly – cleaning your teeth. However, when tartar does form, your hygienist can take care of the problem.
