Oral Hygiene

To keep your teeth for a lifetime, you must remove the plaque from your teeth and gums every day with proper brushing and flossing. Regular dental visits are also important. Daily cleaning will help keep calculus formation to a minimum, but it won't completely prevent it. A frequent professional cleaning as recommended by your dentist is necessary to remove calculus from places your toothbrush and floss may have missed.
