Why is it so important to get your teeth cleaned at the dentist? It’s great to have a good at-home oral health routine, but it is impossible to remove all of the harmful bacteria from all areas of your teeth at home with just a toothbrush. At the dentist, an educated, trained hygienist will scale and polish your teeth, making sure that every tooth is plaque-free. What is plaque? Plaque is a sticky film that forms on your teeth when bacteria build up. If it is missed by a toothbrush and is left on your teeth for an extended period of time, it can cause decay and even turn into calculus. Calculus is plaque that has hardened on the teeth and can only be removed at the dentist with special instruments. Calculus can cause gum disease, swelling, and bleeding.  What is the best way to avoid calculus build-up? The best way is to make sure that you are regularly brushing and flossing, and that you are visiting your dentist for cleanings at least twice a year to remove anything that you miss at home.
