Cleanings

Regularly scheduled  professional cleanings are critical to maintaining a healthy mouth and  beautiful smile. During your cleaning appointment, Victoria Dental Group  will examine your mouth and perform the following procedures:

• Remove plaque. Plaque is a sticky film containing bacteria  that attack tooth enamel and eventually cause cavities. The bacteria  also produce toxins that inflame the gums, leading to periodontal  disease.
• Remove tartar. Plaque left on teeth over time hardens and  becomes calculus (tartar). It can only be removed with dental tools.  Tartar can cause gums to bleed, leading to periodontal disease.
• Polish teeth. This final step removes minor stains and any remaining plaque, making teeth their whitest and brightest!

For most people, Victoria Dental Group recommends a professional  cleaning every six months to keep your teeth and gums healthy and  strong.
