How often should I get my teeth cleaned?
In a perfect world, everyone would brush and floss twice a day. Plaque builds up over time and this sticky bacterial film can solidify and turn into calculus or tartar.

It not only serves to keep your mouth healthy and clean, but it also allows potential problems to be found and diagnosed earlier.
