I brush and floss every day. Why do I need a cleaning?

Even with excellent hygiene habits, it's easy to miss small areas of your teeth. Over time, the plaque will harden into tartar, which can only be removed with a dental hygienist's tools. When tartar accumulates beneath the gum line, the result is red, puffy, inflamed gums – the beginnings of periodontal disease. Schedule a cleaning with our dentists in Wilmington, NC today!
