Teeth Cleaning
Daily brushing and flossing are non-negotiable, but it is also important to get regular professional teeth cleanings. Over time, plaque and tartar tend to build up in hard to reach places. Hard deposits on enamel are virtually impossible to remove without special dental tools. If tartar is allowed to remain below the gum line and on tooth surfaces, mouth bacteria multiply. Oral bacteria produce acid that causes cavities and gum disease. Left untreated, gum disease can lead to systemic diseases in the body.
A dental cleaning is part of an annual dental check-up, which needs to be made at least once, if not twice, a year. Even if you feel that your teeth are clean, it really is necessary for a dental professional to perform a thorough examination in order to be sure as the beginning stages of gum disease are often hard to detect.
Why dental cleanings are necessary
Dental cleanings are necessary as they help to ensure that patients’ teeth and gums are healthy. They are a very important part of one’s overall oral care routine as these cleanings help to remove any plaque or tartar buildup that can lead to mouth problems, like tooth decay. There is also a connection between one’s oral health and one’s overall health.
When someone’s teeth and gums are not in good health, it is possible for their bad oral health to lead to their experiencing bad overall health, i.e. heart disease, diabetes. Cleanings can also help to remove any unsightly stains on the teeth, allowing one to feel proud to show off their smile.
How often are dental cleanings necessary?
It depends on each dental patient’s particular oral needs as every patient is different. Some patients are simply more prone to having dental issues, making it necessary for them to see a dental professional more often. Other patients will experience hardly any dental issues at all, which means it is likely that they will need to have their teeth cleaned on a less frequent basis.
What to do in between dental cleanings
Every dental patient needs to provide themselves with the good oral care they need to experience a healthy mouth. It is necessary for every dental patient to thoroughly brush their teeth using a soft-bristled toothbrush and a fluoridated toothpaste at least twice a day.
They must also floss their teeth at least once a day. Using a quality mouthwash can also help to keep bad bacteria at bay, as well as to keep breath fresh.
When was your last dental cleaning?
Are you currently due for a dental cleaning? If you have not had a professional dental cleaning within the past year, then making an appointment as soon as possible is essential to make sure that your oral health is in tip-top shape.
If you happen to be very busy like most people nowadays, know that there are many dental offices that have extended hours in order to accommodate their patients. This means you can go before work, during your lunch break, after work or possibly even on the weekend.
