Your Sainte-Marthe dentist recommends regular professional scaling, typically every six months. But why is it so important?
What Is Tartar?
Tartar is an accumulation of hardened dental plaque that cannot be removed by brushing alone. It forms mainly near the gum line and between teeth.
Prevention of Gum Disease
Tartar harbors bacteria that can cause gum inflammation (gingivitis) and, if untreated, periodontal disease. Scaling removes these harmful deposits.
Impact on Overall Health
Research shows a link between gum disease and health problems such as heart disease and diabetes. Regular scaling contributes to your overall health.
A Brighter Smile
As a bonus, scaling removes surface stains, leaving your teeth cleaner and brighter.
