Visible tartar deposits can be hard to ignore, but you can find removing them to be surprisingly difficult. Essentially, these deposits will remain until you have your next professional teeth cleanings. These cleaning sessions, performed during dental exams, will help you preserve your oral health and maintain a smile that looks attractive. If you are not diligent about fighting plaque accumulation, you can have noticeable tartar accumulation, and you can be more vulnerable to problems with your oral health.
Regular dental exams include thorough teeth cleanings to help you remain healthy. The cleanings provided to you remove both plaque and tartar buildup. When these deposits are removed, your risk for cavities and gum disease will be lowered. Exams also benefit you because you can learn about problems that have formed that we can treat to prevent complications.
To maintain a truly healthy smile, you should commit to good preventive dental care both at home and during your dental checkups. With your semiannual visits, you receive feedback about the condition of your teeth and gums as well as cleanings to protect them. Preventing problems at home calls for both brushing and flossing on a daily basis. You should brush at least two times, with care taken to reach even those hard to reach spaces. To make the most of these sessions, take at least two minutes to clean your teeth. When you floss, work the string vertically to fight the accumulation of bacteria at the base of teeth.
Tartar buildup can become a cosmetic problem, and it can also be an issue that makes oral health problems harder to avoid. At your regular exams, we can help you fight the buildup of harmful plaque and tartar so that you can maintain a more attractive and healthy smile.
