This is excellent. However, they are places around your teeth that you may miss and these areas accumulate plaque (bacteria deposits on dried salivary protein). This plaque can lead to cavities and gum disease. Our hygienist and dentist will ensure that this plaque is removed and if there is any cavity beginning it is detected before it destroys a larger part of your teeth. We would, as well, advise you of how you can improve your home care, so you need less and less of dental care in the office. Thus you will have healthier teeth with less dental treatment and you will prevent need for extensive dental treatment.
