Teeth Cleaning

Oral hygiene is the first line of defense against most oral disease.  While brushing is effective, plaque, a deposit of bacteria, can harden over time becoming more difficult to remove with regular brushing.

It is good dental hygiene to have at least two teeth cleanings a year during your dental check-up. Teeth cleanings usually involve the removal of plaque, tartar, or infected dentin through scraping and flossing. It may be unpleasant so some, but the result is a clean, healthy set of teeth.
