It is recommended by the Academy of General Dentistry to have a dentist or hygienist perform a dental cleaning every six months. Dr. Nick Mobilia of Elite Dental Arts encourages all his patients to maintain a great oral health routine at home, but it is still important to come into the office for regular professional cleanings. However much you brush and floss, some harmful bacteria grow in your mouth that cause gum disease and can only be removed by a dental professional.
It’s important to see a professional regularly to locate and monitor areas in the mouth that may need special attention, and a dentist can tell you if you may be missing a spot or skipping an important step in your regular oral care routine. During a teeth cleaning, a hygienist thoroughly clean the area above and below the gum line with scaling tools to rid them of plaque and tartar. After the surfaces of the teeth are cleaned, the hygienist flosses between every one of your teeth and may apply fluoride if recommended by the dentist.
