The short answer is yes. The long answer is that even brushing your teeth and flossing regularly can’t clean your teeth thoroughly. And that causes plaque and tartar to gather under your gum lines and between your teeth. When plaque and tartar accumulation is not taken care of in a timely manner, they will cause infections, decays, or even tooth loss. By having your teeth and gums professionally cleaned every six months, or even more often than that, you can make sure that your glowing smile is healthy from both the outside and the inside.
