Why Regular Dental Cleanings Are Essential, Even If You Brush Daily



Beyond the Toothbrush

Many patients wonder if regular dental cleanings are really necessary if they brush and floss daily. The answer is yes! At Marinaside Dental, we explain that even the best at-home routines can miss spots or leave behind tartar.

What Happens During a Professional Cleaning? 

During your dental check-up in Yaletown, our hygienists:

  • Remove plaque and hardened tartar
  • Polish teeth for a smooth, clean finish
  • Check gum health and measure pocket depth
  • Offer oral health tips for home care

Why It Matters

Skipping cleanings can lead to:

  • Gum disease
  • Tooth decay in hard-to-reach areas
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Missed early signs of dental issues

Prevention You Can Rely On

As a family dental clinic in Vancouver, we recommend cleanings every 6 months for most patients. It’s a simple step that pays off in long-term health.
