Yes. Plaque and bacteria work their way between the teeth and gums, areas that tooth brushes and floss can not reach. Dental professionals have tools to reach these areas and remove bacteria before it destroys the gums and bone that hold your teeth in place. Neglecting professional care can lead to unnecessary tooth loss. A visit every 6 months for a cleaning is recommended.
