Dental Benefit, Dental Care and Teeth Cleaning
Question: I have dental insurance though work I think it is an HMO any way I get two cleaning a year for free. I have not yet used the plan and was thinking about going in for my cleaning because I have not seen a dentist in over two years. My teeth are stained even though I brush and floss daily. I do not drink coffee or tea nor do I smoke but I do eat food that may stain my teeth. If I go in for a good cleaning will that help remove the stains and make my teeth brighter?
Answer: You should just go to the dentist for your free cleaning anyway since you need to do that to maintain good oral health. However yes a cleaning should help make your teeth look a little. You can also ask the dentist about having your teeth whiten if that is something you want to do.
