Removing Traces of Difficult Plaque and Tartar

Brushing your teeth twice and flossing once daily is essential for preventing cavities and gum disease from threatening your smile’s health. Though practicing this routine will place you on the right path to better oral health, it can be difficult to remove every trace of plaque with brushing alone. Along with good hygiene at home, regular dental cleanings are necessary to help you prevent the onset of serious dental issues. 

Non-Invasive Preventive Cleanings For All Smiles

Food particles that remain stuck between the teeth or near the gums attract and feed oral bacteria. Over time, plaque develops in the hard-to-reach areas of the mouth, and without a professional cleaning, it will calcify into more difficult to remove tartar. This is where your routine teeth cleaning comes in. This is a non-invasive procedure that comprises half of your routine dental visit–the other half consisting of your dental examination. Using special equipment designed to quickly and comfortably clean your teeth, your dental hygienist will carefully remove buildup to ensure that no plaque and tartar remain. If you attend your routine checkup and cleaning visits, it helps significantly in preventing the onset of gum disease, tooth decay, and other dental issues caused by hidden oral bacteria. We work with our patients, providing an individual approach to helping them and their families develop good hygiene habits that keep oral health concerns at bay.
