Ideally, a dentist should clean your teeth every six months to prevent the build-up of plaque and maintain healthy teeth and gums.
Key takeaways:
– Bad breath can occur when plaque starts to build up.
– Sore, puffy, reddened gums are early signs of gum disease which can be reversed if treated early.
– Tooth sensitivity can indicate damaged tooth enamel.
Don’t avoid the dentist. Professional cleaning can help maintain a beautiful smile!
“A professional teeth cleaning also helps remove surface stains from your tooth enamel, leaving your smile both bright and healthy.”
