PROFESSIONAL TEETH CLEANING

The benefits include:

• Plaque removal- Tartar (also referred to as calculus) and plaque buildup, both above and below the gum line, can result in serious gum problems. Even while properly brushing and flossing at home routinely, it can be impossible to remove all of the bacteria, debris and deposits from the gum pockets. The experienced eye of your North Palm Beach dentist or hygienist using specialized dental equipment is necessary to catch this potentially damaging buildup and remove it before it progresses.
• A healthier looking smile- Stained, discolored and yellowed teeth can dramatically decrease the esthetics of a smile. Twice yearly teeth cleanings are an effective treatment in ridding the teeth of these unsightly stains.
• Fresher breath- Chronic bad breath (or halitosis) is generally indicative of advancing gum disease. A combination of rotting food particles (possibly below the gum line) and potential gangrene stemming from gum infection, results in bad breath. The routine removal of plaque, calculus and bacteria at our North Palm Beach office can noticeably improve halitosis and reduce infection.
