Dental Hygiene Cleaning
Joseph Jenkins, DDS
Dental hygiene cleaning involves the removal of dental plaque from teeth with the intention of preventing cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, and periodontal disease. People routinely clean their own teeth by brushing and flossing. Dental hygienist can remove hardened deposits (tartar) and stain not removed by home care. Those patients that have periodontal issues and more tartar deposits might require deeper cleaning.
