From coffee to burgers, the food and drinks we consume everyday gradually deposit bacteria and plaque on our teeth. While twice daily brushing removes the majority of these agents, a bi-annual cleaning and exam gets rid of the harmful buildup in hard to reach places around the teeth and allows us to catch smaller problems before they become potentially larger ones.
