That’s where routine cleanings come in! Coming by for a general check-up is usually when a cleaning will happen too – these are very routine, and should happen about every six months. A cleaning will allow your dentist to perform a deep-clean to remove plaque build-up that brushing and flossing just can’t reach.
Cleanings
Brushing and Flossing are the best everyday defense against tooth decay and infections. But it’s difficult for both children and adults to reach every single tiny area between each of our teeth.
These cleanings are essential to preventing cavities and disease in these hard-to-reach areas, which is part of the reason every single dentist you meet will stress the importance of your routine appointments!
