Worried About Tartar? Professional Teeth Cleanings Can Help

If you are not concerned about the threat that tartar can pose your smile, you should be. Deposits of this sticky substance will resist your efforts at removal through brushing and flossing. In order to keep your teeth safe against these deposits, your teeth will have to be cleaned by your hygienist during a routine dental exam. This cleaning is one of many reasons these appointments help patients stay safe against problems. By having tartar removed, you become less likely to deal with problems with dental decay as well as with gum disease. Our Rochester, MN dentist’s office is prepared to help you avoid oral health trouble, just as we are prepared to provide care when issues impact your smile.

Why You Should See Tartar As A Real Threat

Tartar buildup will occur whenever you leave plaque deposits on teeth. When they build up over time, the bacteria they contain can put you at risk for the formation of cavities, and for the onset of gingivitis. A smart approach to brushing and flossing will help you remove plaque buildup before these deposits harden to tartar. Unfortunately, it is common for deposits to be overlooked until they harden and become difficult to remove.

How Often Should I Have My Teeth Cleaned At The Dentist’s Office?

Unless you are told by your dentist that a different time line would be more appropriate for you, you should plan to have a checkup and cleaning every six months. These semiannual appointments help you limit problems with tartar, which will help you remain safe against the formation of tooth decay and gum disease. When a person is not seeing their dentist on a regular basis for preventive care, accumulated tartar deposits can have an unpleasant effect on their appearance while also making them more vulnerable to oral health concerns.

Other Benefits To Routine Dental Appointments

Every routine dental appointment gives your dentist a chance to identify any problems with dental decay that you have. Timing is important when it comes to cavity detection. The earlier a cavity is found, the sooner it can be treated – that early detection and treatment ultimately limits the amount of harm that your tooth experiences. While small cavities only require dental fillings, more significant issues with decay can make root canal therapy and the placement of a dental crown necessary.
