Regular dental cleanings do more than keep your teeth looking bright. They remove plaque and tartar that brushing and flossing at home cannot reach, reducing your risk of cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems.
During a professional cleaning, your hygienist also has the opportunity to identify early signs of issues like gum disease, oral cancer, and tooth decay. Catching these problems early means simpler, less invasive, and less expensive treatments.
Most dental professionals recommend cleanings every six months, though some patients with a history of gum disease may benefit from more frequent visits. At My Scottsdale Dentist, we work with you to create a cleaning schedule that keeps your smile in top shape.
