First, let’s talk about why you can’t just get your smile clean enough with your own brushing and flossing. You see, plaque sticks to your teeth. This happens every day, which is why you brush twice and floss once. However, you’re not going to be able to brush and floss away every last final particle. Instead, a little will stay there, build up, and will turn into tartar (tartar is very hard, almost like cement, so it’s not going anywhere until you see our team for a dental cleaning). Neglect tartar and plaque and cavities (and more) are in your future.
Another reason you should schedule dental cleanings is because they occur as one part of a more comprehensive preventive visit! You’ll be seeing us for your checkup, too. In addition to cleaning your teeth, we’ll check your smile for possible problems, while offering treatments that will get your smile back to its healthy state.
Remember, you don’t only require home care or professional care. You need both. Keep up with all aspects of prevention and you can look forward to healthy teeth and gums!
Don’t overlook the importance of scheduling your dental cleanings once every six months for a glowing, healthy smile. Set up an appointment in Grand Prairie, TX by contacting your dentist at Pecan Tree Dental to schedule a visit at (972) 262-5111.
