Proper brushing and flossing on a daily basis is the most important factor in maintaining healthy teeth and gums — but professional cleaning is also essential.
Besides restoring teeth to a clean, bright appearance, a dentist also:
- Removes plaque build-up from difficult areas and under the gum
- Provides early detection of potential dental problems
- Includes screening for possible oral, face and neck cancers
A toothbrush and dental floss cannot remove all food particle and debris — and a regular check-up and cleaning should always be part of a good dental regimen. You’ll keep teeth and gums healthy while detecting any issues as early as possible. Read more at https://yourdentalhealthresource.com/consequences-of-ignoring-regular-teeth-cleanings/.
