Why Do We Need Dental Cleanings?

Did you know that the American Dental Association recommends having your teeth cleaned once every six months? Even if you brush and floss regularly you need to have a professional cleaning. Doing so can help you avoid the onset of tooth decay and gum disease.

Benefits of a Dental Cleaning

A dental cleaning involves removing plaque buildup (a byproduct of bacteria) with either a manual tool or an ultrasonic scaler. Benefits include:

  • Smoother finish
  • Brighter teeth
  • Fresher breath
  • Lower risk of tooth decay and gum disease
