A dental cleaning is a crucial part of your oral health plan, comprising preventive measures. Prevention is the best medicine where tooth decay is concerned. We know, due to our regular consumption of sugary food and beverages, we all tend to develop cavity-causing plaque on our teeth. Therefore, regular professional cleanings are a vital part of your preventive dentistry plan, as they remove tartar and plaque that can cause dental health problems if left untreated. The hygienists at our dental office in Coquitlam are trained to prevent the onset of gum disease. In addition, AARK Dental can also provide you with tips on how to brush and floss your teeth properly.
