Gentle Cleanings | Middlebury Dental Group | Dentist Southbury, CT
Daily brushing and flossing will keep dental calculus (tartar) to a minimum, but a professional cleaning will remove calculus in places your toothbrush and floss have missed. Your visit to our office is an important part of your program to prevent gum disease. Most patients are on a 6-months recall to have their teeth cleaned by one of our hygienists, however, we also offer “accelerated” recalls to help patients with periodontal issues to stay on track. It is not uncommon for patients to have their teeth cleaned every 3-4 months. Some patients may even require a schedule of every 2 months. Remember, we want you to keep your teeth for your lifetime.
