We all know that good oral hygiene keeps your teeth looking clean and shiny but did you know that it’s also essential to your overall health? It’s true, poor oral hygiene can contribute to a variety of dental and medical problems such as gum disease, infection, and heart disease. For this reason, dentists recommend your teeth be cleaned by a dental hygienist at least twice a year. Prophylaxis (teeth cleaning) is the process of removing plaque and tartar build-up in order to prevent cavities, gingivitis and gum disease. At Gatling Dentistry, our average dental cleaning is a very routine and pain-free procedure that usually takes 45 minutes.
