Remove Plaque and Bacteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even if you diligently brush and floss daily on your own,\nplaque can still build up over time. As it hardens, it becomes much more\ndifficult to remove, and in the process that allows the harmful bacteria in\nplaque better access to your gums and teeth. During your dental checkup appointment,\nyour hygienist will perform a thorough cleaning of your teeth to remove this\nhardened plaque and tartar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prevent Future Problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By getting rid of the plaque that you have on your teeth, your\nhygienist stops bacteria from causing problems for your oral health. If,\nhowever, you wait to see your dentist, these bacteria can produce toxins that\nlead to tooth decay and gum disease, both of which can serious consequences if\nleft untreated. Your dental cleaning helps prevent them before they have a\nchance to start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enjoy the Fresh Feeling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you love the way a newly cleaned floor shines from spring\ncleaning in your home, you\u2019ll love the look and feeling of your smooth, squeaky\nclean teeth.

Have a Brighter Smile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In addition to clearing out unsightly plaque buildup in hard-to-reach\nareas, your hygienist polishes your teeth, which removes surface stains. In\njust one appointment, you can have a brighter smile to share with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take Advantage of Benefits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although coverage varies from plan to plan, most dental insurance\ncompanies completely or mostly cover two dental checkups and cleanings per year.\nIf you have these appointments available to you, why not use them and take advantage\nof the benefits you pay for?
