Preventative Dentistry in Toronto

The Canadian Dental Association recommends that you have your teeth cleaned at least every 6 months to prevent decay and gum disease. Children should come at least every six months. Brushing and flossing go hand in hand. Flossing at least once a day will help prevent cavities from forming in between the teeth and help your gums stay nice and healthy. But brushing can’t remove tartar, the hard substance that forms on your teeth at the gum line. Tartar can only be removed by a dental hygienist using special tools.
