Let this article serve as your personal guide to the benefits of getting your teeth cleaned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"353\" height=\"370\" src=\"https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-16-at-1.04.35-PM.png\" alt=\"Professional Dental Cleaning\" class=\"wp-image-190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-16-at-1.04.35-PM.png 353w, https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Screen-Shot-2019-08-16-at-1.04.35-PM-286x300.png 286w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 353px) 100vw, 353px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n<br>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why You Should Get Your Teeth Professionally Cleaned<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, some folks in Cypress believe that visiting the dentist is unnecessary as long as you brush and floss regularly. That just isn\u2019t the case. In addition to keeping your teeth clean and healthy, regular visits to our <a href=\"https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/about-us\/\">expert hygienists<\/a> at Cypress Springs Family Dentistry ensure that we can have a good look at your pearly whites and make sure nothing is wrong. If you don\u2019t come in for cleanings, you\u2019ll only need more expensive work later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are a few reasons get your teeth cleaned:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Tartar<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ve all heard of plaque, but what about tartar? And no, not like the sauce. Tartar is the grown-up version of plaque. In other words, plaque becomes harder as it builds up and eventually turns into tartar. It is difficult for the average Cypress resident to remove on their own, but dental cleanings can give you tartar-free teeth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/services\/general-dentistry\/#GumDisease\"><strong>Gum Disease<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss. When plaque and tartar buildup on teeth, they begin irritating gums and cause an infection that actually separates gums from teeth. Left unchecked, gum disease can be a serious, damaging, and painful condition. However, regular cleanings help keep gum disease at bay and give Dr. Todd a chance to treat problems before they become serious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/cypressspringsdental.com\/services\/cosmetic-dentistry\/teeth-whitening\/\"><strong>Bright Smiles<\/strong><\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Drinking tea, coffee, and using tobacco are just a few habits that can stain your teeth. However, our hygienists at Cypress Springs Family Dentistry can remove many of these stains during a simple cleaning. On top of that, every cleaning ends with a polishing that will leave you with a whiter, healthier smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Dental Benefits<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have dental insurance but don\u2019t visit Dr. Todd for your regular cleanings, you are missing out on your benefits! Almost all dental insurance providers allow for two cleanings per year, free of charge. There\u2019s no reason to let your insurance go to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you know why it\u2019s so important to have your teeth cleaned. If you have any questions or find that you are suddenly inspired to visit Dr. Todd for a cleaning, feel free to give us a call!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Teeth_cleaning\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttp:\/\/www.deltadentalins.com\/oral_health\/teeth_cleaning.html\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You\u2019ve been hearing it for years \u2013 \u201cmake sure to visit Dr. Todd twice a year for your regular cleanings.\u201d Just in case you\u2019ve ever wondered why regular dental cleanings are so important, we at Cypress Springs Family Dentistry would &hellip;
