Whether it's been 6 months or 10 years since your last dental cleaning, chances are it's time for you to visit your dentist for your checkup!

Why do I need regular dental cleanings anyway?

Well, it turns out that through your diet and your natural flora in your mouth you develop plaque. Plaque is a sticky film that can cover your teeth that contains bacteria and food debris. When plaque forms on your teeth it can cause your gums to become red, puffy, and swollen. This inflammation of the gums causes a condition known as gingivitis and can result in gums that bleed.

Over time as plaque sits on your teeth it can harden and turn into tartar. When tartar develops it requires special dental tools to remove. Regular brushing and flossing is not enough to remove tartar from teeth.
