Getting examined and cleaned regularly prevents calculus and plaque accumulation under your gums and around your teeth. Locating these deposits through the use of digital scans and x-rays allow the dentist to target the trouble areas. Thorough dental cleanings and home care can prevent tooth loss, bad breath, bone loss, gingivitis, and tooth decay.
