What You Need to Know About Dental Cleanings

You may have heard that it’s important to visit your dentist once every six months, but have you ever heard why? You see, visiting your dentist is especially important if you’re interested in keeping your teeth healthy and strong. Namely, it’s important that you give your dentist a chance to remove plaque and tartar from your mouth.     

There are different types of cleanings that can be used to match a number of situations. For instance, a normal cleaning is referred to as a preventative cleaning. Typically, this cleaning is used to thoroughly clean your teeth and your gums. Similarly, if you have gum disease in its early stages, our team will use specially designed instruments to remove plaque and tartar from your mouth. Finally, Dr. Tina Foss may recommend a deep cleaning for more advanced cases of gum disease, which can help reverse the problem.
