A teeth cleaning is a preventative dental treatment performed to thoroughly clean the teeth and gums, sometimes known as a dental prophylaxis. Regularly scheduled teeth cleanings are an important dental treatment for stopping the progression of gingivitis and periodontal disease. Not only does it immediately improve your dental hygiene, it gives your dentist the opportunity to examine your teeth and gums for any change in your oral health.
Dental cleanings are an effective procedure in keeping your mouth in proper health and halting the progression of gum disease and are an essential part of preventative maintenance care after having dental care.
