Tartar cannot be removed with a toothbrush, no matter how electric and modern it may be. It can only be removed in a clinic with specific instruments.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In most cases, it is advisable to have your teeth cleaned every 6 months. However, not all patients are the same.

Your smile works the same way. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most common questions asked during consultations is: &#8220;If I brush properly, do I really need professional cleaning?&#8221; The short answer is yes.
