Dental cleaning is a procedure in which tartar, stains and deposits are removed from the surface of the teeth, between the teeth and around the gums. Dental cleaning is an important part of daily oral health care and helps maintain healthy teeth and gums and prevent oral diseases.
Teeth cleaning is usually done in the dental office by a dentist or trained oral hygienist. Special tools are used to remove tartar and stains from the teeth, such as automatic toothpicks, wireless cleaning equipment, and water and air devices.
Dental cleaning helps remove tartar, stains, and deposits on the teeth and gums, which can lead to gum infections, cavities, and tooth loss. Regular dental cleanings should be performed every 6 months to 2 years, depending on individual oral health status.
Dental cleaning can also be carried out at home using a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss and oral rinse. It is important to brush teeth regularly at home, follow a healthy diet, and refrain from smoking to maintain oral and dental health.
