Cleaning
Why do I need my teeth cleaned?
Teeth collect plaque and tartar. Plaque is a soft mixture of bacteria and food products. Bacteria grows on the teeth and release acid and toxic by-products. These toxins cause the gums to become red, swollen and bleed.
For healthy teeth and gums, teeth should be cleaned regularly. A cleaning every 6 months is recommend for most people but some people require cleanings every 3 or 4 months.
