Maintain oral hygiene and clean teeth

One of the main benefits of regular dental checkups is the opportunity to have your teeth professionally cleaned. Despite practicing good oral hygiene at home, plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth over time, leading to gum disease and cavities. Dental hygienists use specialized tools and techniques to remove plaque, tartar and surface stains from your teeth during a professional cleaning, ensuring your smile remains healthy and bright. Additionally, cleaning your teeth can help prevent the development of gum disease by eliminating bacteria and toxins that cause gum inflammation and infection. By incorporating professional cleanings into your regular dental checkups, you can maintain optimal oral hygiene and reduce the risk of future dental problems.
