Remove Plaque
Plaque is a yellowish film that contains bacteria. Plaque eventually accumulates on your teeth and causes cavities. The bacteria can also produce toxins that lead to inflamed gums, which in turn leads to periodontal disease.
Remove Tartar
Plaque buildup on teeth over time hardens and becomes calculus (tartar). Tartar forms a breeding ground for bacteria that multiplies quickly. It can only be removed with dental tools such as scalers that scrape the tooth.
Polish Teeth
This final step in a dental cleaning that a hygienist performs is removing stains and any remaining plaque, making teeth their brightest and whitest!
For most people, Tri City Dental Care recommends a professional cleaning every six months to keep your teeth and gums healthy and strong.
