As your “dental health team,” we want you to know that cleaning and polishing are regular parts of a check-up. Here are three reasons why! Professional dental cleaning is the only way to remove tartar from your teeth. If not removed, tartar can cause gum disease. Cleaning polishes the surfaces of your teeth and fillings so they are less likely to accumulate plaque. Cleaning removes mild stains and discoloration, so teeth look better and your smile is in style. See us today to schedule a dental cleaning appointment.
