The Necessity of Hygiene VisitsOne important reason to visit the dentist is to have your teeth cleaned by a professional hygienist. Plaque and tartar develop on teeth over time. Plaque is soft and sticky, but daily brushing can usually remove most of it. However, plaque hardens into tartar, which is beyond the abilities of a typical toothbrush and floss. Tartar builds up below the gumline as well as on the surface of the teeth structure. If plaque and tartar aren’t removed, you risk more serious problems with your teeth and gums later. Recent research demonstrates a strong link between untreated gum disease and serious ailments such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Having your teeth cleaned on a regular basis is one of the best things you can do to maintain good health.
