brushing prevents cavities, but cavities can happen to people of any age. Cavities can happen when plaque builds up on your teeth. Plaque is made up of bacteria that stick to teeth and weaken the enamel on them. When we brush our teeth we get rid of plaque. However, it is possible to miss spots that are difficult to reach or see, and plaque can build up despite your best efforts. Jackson Heights teeth cleaning can reduce plaque in these spots, which will diminish your risk for cavities.

Another issue that our Jackson Heights teeth cleaning can prevent is gum disease. Once plaque builds up, fluids come from the gums in order to kill the bacteria. This can cause a hardened substance called calculus to form. When left untreated, calculus forms inside the gums, creating gaps between your gums and your teeth. Bacteria can fill these gaps and weaken the gums, bone, and teeth around them, and can eventually make your teeth fall out. While brushing and flossing are important in the prevention of plaque buildup and calculus formation, Dr Amit Sood has the tools and the knowledge to clean your teeth once tartar has begun to form. This can prevent unnecessary tooth loss.
