Dental cleanings at San Diego Dentistry involve removing plaque and tartar deposits that have built up over time on your teeth. Teeth are continually awash in saliva, which contains calcium and other substances which help strengthen and protect the teeth. While it’s good that that your mouth already takes care of itself, to a degree, it also means that this natural process eventually leads to a build-up of calcium deposits on the teeth. This chalky, sometimes white substance eventually builds up over time.
We recommend that you have your teeth professionally cleaned every 6 months, for the average patient. You may need to come in more often for cleaning and examination during the treatment of many of the dental/oral disorders. Routine examinations of your teeth are recommended at least every year. This may include yearly, select dental X-rays and plaque identification procedure and removal.
