The Value of Hygiene Visits A major reason to visit our office is to have your teeth cleaned by a professional hygienist. Plaque and tartar build up on teeth over time. Plaque is soft and sticky, but regular brushing can easily remove most of it. However, plaque hardens into tartar, which is beyond the abilities of a toothbrush and floss. Tartar accumulates below the gums as well as on the tooth surface. If plaque isn’t removed, you risk more serious problems with your oral health down the road. Because of the research that confirms a link between untreated gum disease and serious conditions like heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, having your teeth cleaned on a regular basis is one of the best things you can do to maintain health!
