Expert Oral Health Services and Dental Hygiene in Downtown Toronto

Most of us take our sweet time cleaning our teeth. We look for better products and better methods to improve our oral health and the appearance of our smiles. When we eat, the part of food particles that remains in our mouths turns into this sticky film called plaque. Plaque is full of the same food particles and bacteria. The plaque produced in our mouths penetrates underneath our gums and stays on our teeth.

The bacteria uses the food in the plaque to reproduce, and in that process, it produces a substance that can affect our tooth enamel adversely. Plaque can be removed by a sturdy oral hygiene routine. That means using a mouthwash, brushing at least twice a day, and flossing daily. Under the circumstances that we fail to take care of our teeth like we’re supposed to, the plaque can harden, forming a substance called tartar. Unlike plaque, tartar can only be removed by a dental professional such as a Toronto dentist or a dental hygienist in downtown Toronto.

This removal of tartar happens in a process we call professional dental cleaning in downtown Toronto. This procedure can be conducted by a dentist in downtown Toronto or a Toronto dental hygienist. It’s advised we get our teeth professionally cleaned at least twice a year. That way, we can rest assured that we’re protecting our teeth to the best of our ability.
