Teeth cleaning and tartar removal

Cleaning tartar and plaque from teeth is an important procedure for maintaining oral and gum health. Tartar is a layer of bacteria and deposits that accumulates on teeth as a result of food and drinks. If left untreated, it hardens into plaque that cannot be removed by a regular toothbrush or floss. This can cause problems such as gum disease, tooth decay, and sometimes even tooth loss if the problem is allowed to worsen.

During a professional teeth cleaning, your dentist uses specialized instruments to remove tartar and plaque from the surface of your teeth, both above and below the gum line. This improves overall oral health and prevents other health problems. A professional teeth cleaning not only makes your smile cleaner, but it also helps prevent gum problems such as gingivitis or periodontitis.

It's very important to have your teeth professionally cleaned at least every six months to prevent bacteria and plaque buildup and ensure good oral health. If you delay cleaning for longer, plaque will accumulate more, which can lead to health problems requiring complex treatment.
