Are you among the people who only visit the dentist because they cannot sleep through the night? Well, this article is for you it highlights the importance of professional dental cleaning:

Dr. Leah Njogu advises, “Do not wait for tooth pains or discomfort for you to visit your dentist”.

It is essential to get cleaning and polishing where the hygienist removes all the bacteria from the surface of the teeth using a tool known as a scaler to scrape off tartar or plaque that accumulates around the gum line.

It helps your smile in ways that your regular brushing can’t. Scaling and polishing are cost-effective and help prevent severe gum diseases detrimental to oral health.

Dental Cleaning helps:

1. Avoid bad breath
2. Mobile teeth
3. Prevent bad breath
4. Prevent\stop sensitivity
5. Prevent teeth loss -retention of plaque causes destruction of the alveolar bone which holds the tooth in place and also causes gum recession which causes the tooth to become loose leading to teeth loss.
6. Avoid cavity
7. Prevent/stop bleeding gums
8. Prevent systemic complications in diabetic patients
9. In pregnancy, it prevents preterm births and a low birth rate
10. Prevent extreme accumulation of tartar or plague

Dental cleaning should be done twice a year (every 6 months). Regular visits to the dentist allow them to capture early signs of problems such as tooth decay, and tooth breakage, making it manageable with less pain and cost.
