Why see a Dental Hygienist

Failure to effectively, remove the plaque causing bacteria, from your mouth, during home brushing, and flossing can lead to plaque accumulation over time, hardening the plaque, to create Tartar, which is hard to remove by regular brushing. The tartar develops where the tooth meets the gums, and irritates the gum, leading to bleeding.
