Professional Dental Cleaning: The Key to Tartar Removal
Tartar, also known as dental calculus, is a hardened buildup of plaque that cannot be removed with regular brushing. For effective removal, professional dental cleaning is essential. Dentists and dental hygienists use advanced tools like ultrasonic devices and hand scalers to eliminate tartar from both above and below the gum line. This process, known as scaling, not only improves oral hygiene but also prevents complications like gum disease and tooth decay.
The Importance of Regular Dental Visits
Routine dental check-ups play a vital role in maintaining oral health. By visiting your dentist every six months, you can catch tartar buildup early and prevent it from worsening. Professional cleanings during these visits ensure your teeth and gums stay healthy, giving you a brighter smile and reducing the risk of serious dental issues.
