What Is Teeth Cleaning?
Teeth cleaning, also known as dental cleaning or scaling, is a procedure that removes plaque, tartar, and bacteria from your teeth to prevent cavities, tooth decay, and gum disease.
Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, can harden into tartar if not regularly removed, leading to more serious oral health issues. At Smile Envy Dental & Orthodontics, our expert dentists in Atlanta provide thorough cleanings to protect your teeth and gums.
