What is professional teeth cleaning?
Professional cleaning removes tartar, plaque and surface stains that cannot be fully removed by daily brushing. It is the most effective prevention against gum disease and periodontitis — since most tooth loss is caused by gum disease, not cavities.
When do you need a teeth clean?
You need a clean if you notice tartar buildup near the gums, if your gums bleed when brushing, if you have bad breath, staining from coffee or smoking, or if it has been more than 6 months since your last check.
How does cleaning help gum health?
Regular cleaning removes the bacterial plaque that causes irritation and inflammation in the gums. If there are already signs of gum disease or deeper periodontitis, a standard clean may not be sufficient and specialist gum treatment will be needed.
