Teeth Cleaning by a dental hygienist removes tartar that often develops in spite of regular brushing and flossing. Professional cleaning includes tooth scaling, polishing, and debridement if too much tartar has accumulated. This, combined with good oral hygiene, helps to prevent cavities, tartar build-up, and gum disease.
We recommend a professional cleaning at least twice a year in addition to a routine examination that may include select dental x-rays.
