Why is Oral Hygiene so Important?

A good oral hygiene routine is necessary to eliminate disease-causing bacteria in the mouth. Bacteria in the mouth build to form plaque, a colorless film that sticks to teeth. If plaque is not removed it can harden (calculus) and lead to long-term ailments such as gingivitis or gum disease.

While daily brushing and flossing keep plaque build-up to a minimum, a professional dental cleaning will remove plaque and calculus in places your toothbrush and floss have missed. That’s why bi-yearly hygiene visits play such an important role in keeping your smile healthy.
