Tooth decay, or cavities, occurs when oral bacteria produce acid that erodes tooth enamel. While good home hygiene helps, professional cleanings are also crucial. Oral bacteria can infect your gums, leading to poor oral and overall health. Regular cleanings reduce the risk of gum disease and tooth loss, which often result from cavities or gum disease. Professional cleanings also remove deposits and polish teeth, enhancing their appearance.
