Even if you brush and floss your teeth twice a day every day, it’s difficult to keep them totally clean. Although we encourage each of our patients to brush and floss regularly, we also advise a regular scale and polish. This ensure their teeth are as clean and healthy as possible.
If you’re wondering if getting your teeth professionally cleaned is right for you, here are five important benefits.
1. Remove Plaque and Tartar build-up
Plaque on the teeth eventually hardens into dental calcium known as tartar. Once this happens, it can’t be removed with a manual or electric toothbrush, you’ll need the professional help of a hygienist with the right tools for the job.
2. Deep Clean the hard to reach areas
Has your dentist ever shown you the backs and sides of your teeth with a mirror during an appointment? It can be a little startling to see the plaque build-up you didn’t even know was there.
The truth is, it’s difficult to keep all the corners of your mouth totally clean – we just can’t see enough of it. When your teeth are professionally cleaned, every inch of your teeth are deep cleaned, giving a fresh feeling that you can’t get at home.
4. Boost confidence
It’s a wonderful feeling seeing how bright and clean your teeth are after having them professionally cleaned. It’s the perfect self-confidence boost if you’ve been feeling low about your smile lately.
We often become blind to many of the stains that have built up over time, so you might be surprised just how clean your teeth look after a professional clean. On the other hand, if you’ve had your teeth professionally whitened, this is a great way to keep that pearly white look maintained.
5. Help prevent Gum Disease
A shocking 90% of adults have some form of gum disease (most commonly the early stages of gingivitis). If you suffer from swollen gums, bleeding when brushing, or halitosis, these are all signs of the early stages of gum disease.
Gum disease is caused by a build-up of bacteria in the mouth. When you get your teeth professionally cleaned, these deposits of bacteria are removed, helping to prevent gum disease from starting or progressing to more serious stages.
6. Spot serious issues
When cleaning your teeth, your hygienist will spot any other issues that may need to be addressed. This could be a cavity, lesion, ulcer, infection, or any other problem that might be ignored until it becomes a serious issue otherwise.
