Better Health

Regular teeth cleanings are an important aspect of preventive dental care. Preventive dental care is a method for maintaining optimal oral health by preventing problems from occurring in the first place. If problems do develop, they can be caught early and treated promptly before becoming worse. If you are not visiting the dentist regularly, such problems can be missed until they become more serious and are more difficult to treat.

Seeing a Tampa dentist regularly for an exam and professional teeth cleaning helps prevent a host of oral health problems, including gum disease. Gingivitis, an early stage of gum disease, develops from tartar buildup. As mentioned, tartar buildup cannot be removed at home simply by brushing and flossing. Your dentist has the proper tools and equipment for completely removing tartar buildup and restoring the health of your teeth and gums.
