Tooth cleaning is part of oral hygiene and involves removal of dental plaque from the teeth in order to prevent cavities (dental caries), gingivitis, and periodontal disease. People routinely clean their own teeth by scrubbing and cleaning the interdental, and dental hygiene can eliminate hard sediment (tartar) that is not removed by routine cleaning. Those who have dentures and natural teeth can complete their cleaning with denture cleansers.

Brushing, brushing, and embroidering
Brush
Careful brushing and often with a toothbrush helps prevent the buildup of plaque bacteria on the teeth. Electric toothbrushes were developed, and were originally recommended for people with strength or agility problems in their hands, but they have been widely used. The effectiveness of electric toothbrushes to reduce plaque formation and gingivitis is better for reducing plaque and gingivitis compared with conventional manual toothbrushes.
Flossing
In addition to brushing, cleaning between teeth can help prevent the buildup of plaque bacteria on the teeth. This can be done with dental floss or interdental brush.
80% of the cavities occur in the grooves, or holes and slits, of the chewing surfaces of teeth; however, no current evidence suggests that normal home flossing reduces the risk of cavities in this area.
Special tools or tools can be used to add toothbrush and interdental cleaning. These include special toothpicks, oral irrigators, and other devices. The 2015 Cochrane Review finds insufficient evidence to determine whether interdental brushing lowers plaque levels when compared with flossing.
Scrubbing
Teeth can be cleaned by rubbing with twigs instead of toothbrushes. Plant sap on twigs take place toothpaste. In many parts of the world, tooth-cleaning branches are used. In the miswak Muslim world or siwak is made of twigs or roots that are said to have antiseptic effects when used to clean teeth.

Professional dental cleaning
Tooth cleaning (also known as prophylaxis, literally disease prevention treatment) is a procedure to remove tartar (mineralized plaque) that can develop even by brushing and flossing, especially in areas that are difficult to reach in brushing dental routine. This is often done by dental hygienists. Professional cleaning includes tooth scaling and dental polishing and debridement if too much tartar accumulates. This involves the use of various instruments or devices to loosen and remove the sediment from the teeth.
Regarding the frequency of cleaning, research on this subject can not be concluded. That is, it does indicates that more frequent cleanups lead to better or outcomes. A review of the research literature on the question concluded "[t] the research evidence is insufficient enough to reach conclusions about the beneficial and detrimental effects of routine scale and polishing for periodontal health and on the effects of providing this intervention at different time intervals". Thus, any general recommendations for routine cleaning frequencies (eg every six months, every year) have no empirical basis. In addition, as economists show, private dentists (or other dentists) have economic incentives to recommend regular cleaning, thereby increasing their income.
Most dental experts recommend professionally cleansed teeth every six months. More frequent cleaning and examination may be needed during dental care and other mouth disorders. Regular dental checkups are recommended at least annually. This may include annual, select dental X-rays. See also identification procedures and removal of dental plaque.
Good oral hygiene helps prevent cavities, tartar, and gum disease.
Complications
Brushing or flossing that is too strong or wrong to do can cause injury to the gingiva (gum). Incorrect or overcrowded brushing can cause painful gums, damage to tooth enamel, gingivitis, and bleeding gums. Dentists and dental hygienists can instruct and demonstrate appropriate tooth brushing or flossing techniques.
History
Historically, professional dental cleansing is sometimes referred to as odontexesis (literally "tooth extraction") or odontexis ("friction"), and the instruments involved odontoglyphs
