Why is regular teeth cleaning important?

How often should you get dental checkups?
To maintain optimal oral health, it is recommended that dental checkups be scheduled every six months. These regular visits allow your dentist to thoroughly examine your teeth and gums, catch any issues early, and perform professional cleanings to remove plaque and tartar buildup. Depending on your individual oral health needs, your dentist may suggest more frequent visits to address specific concerns or conditions. Consistent checkups help ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy and can prevent more serious dental problems in the future.

Why are brushing and flossing important?
Brushing and flossing are vital for maintaining good oral hygiene and preventing dental issues. Brushing removes plaque, food particles, and bacteria from the surfaces of your teeth, helping to prevent cavities and gum disease. Flossing complements brushing by cleaning between the teeth and under the gumline, areas that a toothbrush cannot reach, thus removing debris and plaque buildup that can lead to tooth decay and periodontal disease. Together, these practices help maintain healthy teeth and gums, reduce bad breath, and contribute to overall oral health. Regular brushing and flossing, along with routine dental checkups, are essential for a bright and healthy smile.
