Teeth cleaning or teeth brushing is the elimination of unwanted tartar and dental plaque from teeth to prevent gum disease such as gingivitis and cavities. One-third of tooth loss by adult is due to severe gum diseases and even though how good our teeth are, it is useless if we are suffering from gum problems. Plaque and tartar doesn’t appear on your teeth unless they get collected for a long period of time. Both of these can’t be removed from normal and daily brushing. A dentist will also take care of cavities to keep your gums and teeth healthy.

To prevent tartar accumulation, good oral hygiene is very important between cleanings. We can do this by brushing our teeth frequently as well as using dental floss to prevent build-up of plaque on the teeth. Don’t go for polishing of teeth more than twice a month.

Treating mild cases of gum disease can be as simple and as pain-free as increasing your level of personal oral hygiene: flossing and brushing twice daily for longer periods of time and regular check-ups at the dentist.

For more serious cases, your dentist will be able to properly examine your gums and teeth, sometimes through an X-ray by dental x-ray machine, and may help to remove the build-up of plaque and tartar by deep cleaning the teeth and gums with specialist tools.

Good oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist are key to maintaining the condition of your teeth whether you’ve had a root canal or not.  Having good oral health and taking care of your teeth is one of the many ways that can help you achieve a youthful appearance and a younger smile.
