Q: Do I have to get my teeth polished?

You don’t have to get your teeth polished, but we highly recommend you do!

We polish your teeth to make it difficult for plaque to accumulate on the surface of your teeth. This practice is because the prophy paste contains fluoride, which makes teeth resistant to plaque and decay. This means less chance for cavities, infections and diseases.

The polishing also makes your teeth feel smooth and sometimes tingly after a cleaning, which is very refreshing for your mouth.
