Oral hygiene can prevent tooth loss.

Cleaning involves removing plaque and tartar deposits. An ultrasonic tool is often used to remove the bulk of the tartar, followed by other hand tools to scrape away any remaining debris. 
Although polishing removes stains and leaves teeth smooth and shiny, it is not just a cosmetic procedure. It also smooths out small imperfections and rough spots on the teeth to prevent plaque from sticking to them.
