Regardless of how well you brush and floss at home, your teeth need to be professionally cleaned about every six months. The purpose is to remove the plaque and tartar that build up on and between teeth despite good cleaning habits. In addition your teeth, gums, mouth and throat and neck should be examined to check for oral cancer, facial structure and the condition of your temporomandibular joint. X-rays should be taken to get a better look at the structure of your teeth and mouth.

The American Dental Association and Madison Dental Group recommends two to four times a year depending upon your history. See similar questions...

Professional cleanings are the only way to remove hardened deposits of tartar (calculus) from the teeth. If these deposits are not removed, gum disease and periodontal disease usually result. Professional cleanings smooth and polish teeth and fillings so they are less likely to accumulate plaque, the sticky film of germs and food that forms daily. Finally, a cleaning removes stains and mild discolorations so the teeth look better. See similar questions...

Ideally, the first time a pet should receive a professional cleaning is shortly after its adult teeth have come in. This usually coincides with the time of neutering or spaying. At this time a quick polishing and fluoride treatment will serve to toughen the surfaces of the developing young adult teeth and make them more resistant to infection. The adult teeth usually complete their development by 18 months of age. See similar questions...
