Dental Cleaning
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A dental cleaning is a professional procedure that removes bacterial plaque and tartar accumulated on the teeth and along the gum line, areas that daily brushing does not always reach.
What is it for? It is part of preventive oral care; it helps keep gums and teeth healthy and detect changes early.
How often is it done? The recommended frequency varies from one person to another and is determined by the professional based on the state of the mouth and each person's history.
Who performs it? The dentist and the periodontist carry out this procedure and can guide you on your oral hygiene. Scheduling periodic check-ups is a simple way to take care of your dental health with professional support.
