Professional teeth cleaning is a crucial part of maintaining oral health and can indeed help prevent cavities. During a cleaning, dental hygienists remove plaque and tartar that can harbor bacteria leading to tooth decay. Additionally, the fluoride treatment commonly applied at the end of a cleaning session acts as a protectant for your teeth, helping to fight against cavities for several months. Regular dental visits and cleanings, along with proper home care and proper nutrition and diet, are effective strategies for preventing cavities and ensuring overall dental health.
Absolutely! Professional cleanings can help remove plaque and bacteria that contribute to cavities and bone loss. Your dentist may also see early signs of disease and be able to treat you before the issues progress to larger or more complicated conditions.
No, not much. But it will prevent gum disease, as well as bad/putrid/disgusting breath. A professional cleaning will also remove plaque (biofilm/bacteria) from below the gumline if it's there. It is also an opportunity for your dentist to check your teeth for cavities, as well as your gums for gingivitis or periodontitis, as well as perform a head and neck oral cancer exam to be sure that you are looking good, head-and-neck-wise
