Why Are Regular Dental Cleanings Important?
Professional dental cleanings are essential for maintaining oral health and preventing serious dental issues such as:
✔ Cavities – Plaque buildup can lead to decay and tooth damage.
✔ Gum Disease – Tartar accumulation can cause inflammation and lead to periodontal disease.
✔ Bad Breath – Bacteria in the mouth can contribute to persistent halitosis.
✔ Staining & Discoloration – Cleanings help remove surface stains, keeping your teeth whiter.
✔ Overall Health Risks – Poor oral hygiene has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and other systemic health conditions.
Even with diligent brushing and flossing, some plaque and tartar can only be removed by a professional dental cleaning.
