There are several reasons to worry about tartar buildup, but one to keep in mind is that when this substance forms, it will remain in place until your next professional teeth cleaning. This means you have a higher risk for problems with dental decay and gum disease, and it also means you can have unsightly deposits that people notice. Our Temecula, CA dentist’s office can help with the removal of this material during your regular dental exams. We can also clear away plaque deposits so that they will not harden and become more difficult for you to tend to. These visits provide more than just this service, as they are also beneficial for alerting you to active problems that are already serious enough to require restorative dental work. (more…)

Keeping Up With Teeth Cleanings
Every time you brush and floss your teeth, you fight the buildup of food particles and oral bacteria. The accumulated plaque on your teeth can also be removed through these activities. Unfortunately, when there are tartar deposits present on your smile, you will not have the same kind of success at removal. These deposits will remain until your next professional teeth cleaning.

Our Riverside, CA dentist’s office provides thorough cleanings as part of your regular dental appointments, which help you stay safe from future problems as well as complications from existing issues.
