Why Regular Dental Cleanings Matter
Regular professional cleanings remove stubborn plaque and tartar that brushing alone can't tackle. Cleanings help prevent tooth decay, gum disease and bad breath while keeping your smile bright. Dental cleanings are essential for optimal oral health and will remove both plaque and hardened deposits (tartar) that brushing and flossing miss.
How Often Should You Get a Dental Cleaning?
Most people benefit from a professional cleaning about twice a year, but your dentist may recommend a different schedule based on your individual needs. Many patients schedule cleanings every six months, though some with gum disease or a high risk of cavities may require more frequent visits. Children and teens benefit from regular check-ups as well so emerging problems can be addressed early.
Benefits of Routine Teeth Cleanings
- Reduces your risk of cavities and gum disease: professional cleanings clear away plaque and bacteria that contribute to decay and periodontal disease.
- Improves your overall health: researchers have linked gum health to heart disease and other systemic conditions, so keeping your mouth healthy can support whole-body wellness.
- Prevents bad breath: removing tartar and plaque leaves your mouth feeling fresher and cleaner.
- Saves money by catching problems early: preventive care is less expensive than treating advanced decay or gum disease.
