Sometimes it can be hard to clean the entire surface of your teeth and remove all plaque. Pockets of teeth and gum at the back of the mouth or on the inside, next to the tongue, don’t get a proper scrub, leading to the buildup of bacteria.

During a dental cleaning, your dentist targets these problem areas, removes any plaque or tartar using special cleaning tools, and leaves your mouth feeling fresh and clean. The great thing about dental cleaning is that it helps to prevent gum disease and tooth decay by removing more of the plaque and bacteria in your mouth.
