Teeth cleaning, also known as dental prophylaxis or dental cleaning, is a preventive dental procedure performed by a dental hygienist or dentist to remove plaque, tartar (calculus), and stains from the surfaces of the teeth.
Teeth cleaning appointments are typically recommended every 6 months as part of routine dental care to help prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems. However, the frequency of cleanings may vary depending on individual oral health needs and risk factors.
It’s essential to maintain regular dental check-ups and cleanings to keep your teeth and gums healthy.
Here are some key benefits of regular dental cleanings:
1. Plaque and tartar removal: Professional dental cleanings effectively remove plaque and tartar buildup from the surfaces of the teeth, including areas that may be difficult to reach with regular brushing and flossing. Removing plaque and tartar helps prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.
2. Prevention of gum disease: Gum disease (periodontal disease) is a common oral health problem caused by bacterial infection and inflammation of the gums. Regular dental cleanings help prevent gum disease by removing bacteria and plaque from the gumline and reducing the risk of gum inflammation and infection.
3. Detection of oral health issues: During a dental cleaning appointment, the dental hygienist or dentist can detect early signs of oral health problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, oral cancer, and other dental issues. Early detection allows for prompt intervention and treatment to prevent further damage and maintain oral health.
4. Prevention of tooth decay: Dental cleanings help remove plaque and bacteria from the teeth, reducing the risk of tooth decay (cavities). By keeping the teeth clean and free of harmful substances, dental cleanings help protect tooth enamel and prevent the development of cavities.
5. Fresh breath: Professional dental cleanings remove plaque, tartar, and bacteria from the teeth and gums, helping to eliminate sources of bad breath (halitosis). Regular cleanings can help keep your breath
