An important reason to visit the dentist is to get a teeth cleaning by a professional hygienist. Plaque and tartar build up on teeth over the years. Plaque is sticky, but regular brushing and flossing can remove most of it. However, plaque hardens into tartar, which is beyond the ability of a toothbrush. Tartar builds up under the gumline as well as on the tooth structure. If plaque isn’t removed, you risk serious problems with teeth and gums eventually. Recent research demonstrates a link between untreated gum disease and serious conditions such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Having a regular teeth cleaning is a great thing you can do to maintain your health.
