Prevention of tartar, cavities and periodontal disease

Regular dental cleanings can effectively remove bacteria and plaque from the tooth surface, eliminate tartar, prevent its further development, and reduce the risk of cavities, gingivitis, periodontitis, and other oral problems.

Special ethnic groups

Certain groups are advised to have their teeth cleaned every three months, including pregnant women, diabetics, those with periodontal disease, braces wearers, people with dry mouth or taking high blood pressure medication, and patients undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy. These groups are more prone to plaque buildup, gingivitis, or weakened immunity, and therefore need regular cleanings to prevent periodontal disease and other oral diseases.

Other oral phenomena

You should schedule a professional dental cleaning immediately if you experience any of the following: red and swollen gums, bleeding gums while brushing, or persistent bad breath – these could be early signs of periodontal disease; noticeable tartar or staining on the teeth indicates incomplete cleaning; feeling unclean even after daily brushing may indicate excessive plaque buildup; and those with a history of cavities or periodontal disease should have regular dental cleanings to prevent recurrence. These conditions suggest that your oral health may be compromised and should not be delayed.
