Dental professionals agree that finding an issue at the earliest possible stage will result in the best outcome for the patient. A cavity for instance, can be developing long before there are symptoms but with modern x-ray technology it can be diagnosed before any serious repercussions can occur. Plaque buildup is the main cause of gum disease; brushing and flossing can help to prevent it, but a professional teeth cleaning is necessary to remove plaque that has hardened into tartar. These are two of the many reasons to schedule regular 6 month dental appointments.
