Tooth Cleaning

Why Should Teeth Cleaning Be Done?

In order for microorganisms to cause disease, they must first enter the body. The mouth is one of the most important entrance doors in the body. The acidic environment created by the consumed foods in the mouth and the food residues left on the teeth cause the formation of bacterial plaque. For this reason, everyone should do their own cleaning by using dental floss regularly, cleaning the tongue and brushing the teeth at least 2 times a day. But always brushing the teeth twice a day may not be enough to prevent the formation of residues on the teeth.

When the bacteria on the teeth stay for a long time, they damage the tooth enamel and cause dental caries, while the bacterial plaques harden and cause the formation of tartar, also called tartar. Since the structure of tartar is very hard, it is not possible to remove it with normal tooth brushing. Therefore, there is a need to get professional help from dentists for dental cleaning by making an appointment at a dental hospital.

How Is Tooth Cleaning Done?
Teeth cleaning is done to remove the bacteria and plaque that accumulates in the mouth over time, from the teeth and gums. Oral care is very important to prevent gum diseases, tooth decay and tooth loss, and to protect oral and dental health. Routine oral care includes tongue cleaning, flossing, and regular brushing.

Sometimes, stains or tartar may occur on the teeth due to not performing oral care regularly or for other reasons. In such cases, we need a professional dental cleaning so that oral health does not deteriorate and possible bad situations can be detected and prevented early. For this reason, it is recommended to undergo a dental check-up every six months and to learn whether a treatment is necessary.

What are the Benefits of Dental Cleaning?
In terms of monitoring and protecting oral and dental health, it is recommended to repeat the dental cleaning application between 6 months and 1 year. Because even though we have perfectly healthy teeth and gums, we all have bacteria in our mouths. Regular dental examinations and thorough oral hygiene help prevent gingivitis and gum disease from worsening.

Tooth cleaning prevents bad breath, which is one of the symptoms of gum disease and tooth decay, sensitive and increasingly sensitive teeth, loosening and aching tooth problems during chewing and gum recession. You will be prevented from experiencing tooth loss and you will prevent your tooth decay.
