When I grew up you never heard of teeth cleaning.
Perhaps not, but I hope that now you’re an adult, and do see the benefits of good oral hygiene. That would include regular visits to the dentist, including professional cleanings.

My kids never went to a dentist. They do not have and never have had cavities. No tooth “straightening” either. They are now late 50’s and 60’s. Same teeth and no cavities. I think they all have good breath. At least no one complains or makes comments.
They don’t build tarter either. That is a genetic trait.
I wonder what their secret was as kids who ate Easter, etc candy out the whazoo. Now I wonder who there dentist isn’t. Looks like all of them.
This rule and PA laws are an infringement on our personal lives.
Let’s stop it.
My daughter had discolored teeth, when she was in her early teens. We moved out of the city to a place where we’d had a well drilled and installed the water system. The discoloration disappeared within a few months. She’s in her twenties now and has perfect white teeth. The problem had been the added fluoride in city water. The well water solved it.
