A professional teeth cleaning is one of the most effective weapons in the fight against tooth decay and gum disease. Home care is important too but try as you may you are most likely going to leave some plaque on your teeth over the span of 6 months. This plaque will harden to tartar and can only be removed by a dental hygienist’s tools, that’s the scraping part of the cleaning process. Though having your tooth cleaned is one of the best ways to prevent disease it can also be a pleasant and refreshing experience.
