"Prevention, also known as" prevention "or specialized dental cleaning, strengthens the oral health of the home," said Annie Murray, AGD spokesman, DDS. "It aims to protect the health, prevent the spread of the disease and give the dentist an opportunity to look for other areas that may require attention."
Dr. Murray said it is highly recommended that dentists or hygienists clean their teeth every three to six months. She discourages consumers from using over-the-counter dental polishing tools.
Dr Murray said: "People with healthy teeth and gums usually do not get sore after cleaning. Those who do not have adequate oral hygiene may feel unpleasant or sensitive during tooth cleaning. The dentist can use a local anesthetic before cleaning relief the pain.
