A few signs you should visit a dental hygienist

1. Swollen or bleeding gums

This can be due to a build-up of plaque around the gum line, which is not removed can lead to tartar leading to an increase in bleeding.

2. Tartar (dental calculus)

Tartar is a hardened form of plaque that builds up around the gum line, which if left untreated can lead to gum disease and cavities.

3. Worsened breath

Bad breath, caused by odor-producing bacteria, is a result of irregular brushing and flossing, producing a breeding ground for bacteria.
