It may seem basic and routine, but getting your teeth cleaned by a professional hygienist is one of the most important reasons to visit us. Plaque and tartar form on teeth over time. Soft and sticky plaque can usually be mostly removed by regular brushing. But plaque hardens into tartar, and your typical toothbrush and floss aren’t enough to take care of it. Why is that bad? Tartar accumulates below the gumline as well as on the surface of the teeth. If it’s not removed by a professional, you are at greater risk for more serious problems with your teeth and gums in the future. Recent research shows a definite link between untreated gum disease and other serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Get your teeth cleaned regularly; it’s an easy, important way you can stay healthy!
