Professional Teeth Cleaning

Wellness Dentistry Anderson SCThe Importance of Hygiene Visits
 
Participating in regularly scheduled cleanings done by a professional hygienist is one of the best ways to increase your chances for excellent health. Plaque clings in the hard-to-reach places of your mouth. Even with methodical brushing, some of it will remain in the grooves and pockets of your teeth and gums. If it’s permitted to stay, plaque hardens into tartar, which is outside the scope of your typical toothbrush and floss to remove. Tartar accumulates below your gum line as well as on the enamel of your teeth, forming a serious threat that invites decay and even gum disease to occupy your mouth. Recent research shows a clear link between untreated gum disease and other life-threatening illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Which means having your teeth cleaned is one of the most essential reasons to visit your dentist!
