Regular dental cleanings help maintain oral health and prevent complication.

Why get regular dental cleanings?

When we eat, the bacteria in our saliva accumulate on the teeth, forming dental plaque. We remove plaque by brushing our teeth and using dental floss or interdental brushes. However, even with good oral hygiene, small plaque deposits remain and gradually harden due to the minerals in our saliva, forming tartar.

Tartar cannot be removed with a toothbrush, and the longer it remains, the harder and more difficult it becomes to eliminate.

Over time, tartar causes constant irritation to the gums, increasing the risk of gingivitis (gum inflammation) and, in the long run, periodontitis (inflammation of the jawbone).

The noticeable signs of this process include stained teeth, bleeding gums, bad breath, and in more severe cases, loose and painful teeth.

As a result, it is essential to have regular dental cleanings, at least once a year.

The dental hygienists at D1 Dental Hygiene Center will provide personalized advice on the ideal cleaning frequency based on your oral health condition.
