Routine dental cleanings remove tartar and identify cavity progression but do not remineralize teeth.

“this business of going to the dentist twice a year makes sense it makes sense from the perspective of quote unquote routine cleanings but everyone acknowledged that those routine cleanings while they can remove tarar that's built up that would be very very difficult for people to reverse or eliminate at home and while they can identify cavities and tell you how far a cavity has developed into the tooth Etc every one of those dentists agreed that those routine cleanings are not actually going to help remineralize your teeth except to the extent that they remove existing bacteria plaque and tartar”
