During a dental cleaning, plaque and tartar deposits are meticulously removed from your teeth, which prevents the onset of cavities, gum disease, and numerous oral health issues. Removing hardened plaque requires the essential service of professional dental cleanings, also known as tartar, which regular brushing and flossing cannot remove.
A dental exam is where our NW Calgary dentists inspect for indicators of tooth decay, gum disease, and oral cancer to catch potential issues early. They can be treated promptly, saving you time, discomfort, and money in the long run.
For favorable oral health, it is recommended to have a dental cleaning and exam at least twice a year. However, based on your unique dental health needs, our dentists may recommend scheduling dental exams near you more frequently to help prevent issues and maintain a healthy smile.
