Does your dental hygienist have to scrape bacterial plaque from your teeth at each teeth cleaning appointment.

Asked by gondwanalon (23152points) February 25th, 2024

I get my teeth cleaned 4 times a year.

My gums are good. No cavities.

After each meal I floss and use a Waterpik, and use Oral-B electric toothbrush and Sonicare electric tooth brushes with tooth paste and antiseptic mouthwash.

Nevertheless I still get plaque build up on my teeth that requires scraping with dental tools at each dental visit.

How about you?
