Using Ongoing Dental Care To Sustain A Healthy Smile

Is your smile currently enjoying good health? What will it take to keep your mouth free of problems like tooth decay and gum disease in the long-term? As important as it is to maintain good dental care habits at home, you should also seek out regular care from your dentist. Routine dental checkups provide valuable information about the state of your smile, create opportunities for early detection and treatment of problems, and help you prevent future issues. In addition to the dedicated care you receive from your dentist at every appointment, you receive a professional dental cleaning. This cleaning removes tartar, and it can help you keep your smile safe.

Keeping Up Your Defense Against Cavities

Your daily oral care regimen can offer significant help in your fight against cavities. Each day, you should take at least two minutes to brush at least twice a day. This, along with a daily flossing habit, will help you keep your teeth in good condition. In addition to this daily cleaning, your hygienist can remove any tartar that has formed, and take the time to thoroughly clean areas of teeth that may be difficult for you to reach on your own. A combination of daily and professional oral care will prove valuable in your cavity defense.

Other Oral Health Threats Your Dentist Can Address Through Routine Preventive Care

During routine visits, your dentist can look for any issues that might be impacting your oral health, and they can recommend care whenever it is needed. For instance, if you exhibit signs of gum disease, your dentist can advise you to undergo an ultrasonic scaling. This special cleaning is used to remove plaque and bacteria from under your gum line. Without treatment, gum disease can grow more advanced, and pose a serious threat to your smile.
