Teeth cleaning is a dental procedure used to remove plaque and tartar buildup on the teeth. It is typically performed by a dentist and can include scaling, polishing, and flossing.

Why is getting teeth cleaning important?

The maintenance of good oral hygiene is must for healthy teeth, fresh breath and aesthetic appearance.

Getting a teeth cleaning is important because it helps remove plaque and tartar, which can lead to tooth decay and gum disease if not removed. A professional cleaning also allows the dentist to detect any issues early on and address them before they become major problems. Additionally, it can help prevent bad breath and maintain overall oral hygiene.

​

The most common cause for loss of the teeth is gum disease. Despite using proper brushing technique, some areas of the teeth are left uncleaned as the toothbrush is not able to reach in the latter. This leads to the deposition of a hard substance called calculus which initiates gum/gingival problems.

Continuous deposition of calculus elicit discoloration, staining and foul-smelling odor. If this remains for longer period, it leads to bone loss and tooth mobility.
