Do I really need to have my teeth cleaned every SIX months??

Having your teeth cleaned every six months originally came from a television commercial for a tooth paste. Dentists recommend most adults visit the dentist or hygienist every three to four months and it is important to keep those appointments. According to the American Dental Association, patients who skip visits tend to need more treatment than just a cleaning and are more likely to lose their teeth. Although, it is an essential part of keeping teeth healthy, brushing and flossing at home is not enough. There must be a joint responsibility of home and professional care; otherwise, patients may be faced with more serious problems. Optimum dental health is a priority here at Dr. Mangia’s office. We welcome patients from all over Southern California including the San Fernando Valley. To us optimum care means bringing you to a level of health, comfort and appearance you may never have experienced before. It leads to a beautiful, healthy mouth with a well functioning bite…it leads to dentistry that lasts.
