Regular Dentist examinations and cleanings
Having your teeth cleaned regularly is an excellent method to maintain the health of your gums, teeth, and a broad smile.
During the routine checkup you have scheduled, your dentist will examine your mouth, do any required dental cleaning, and take x-rays to obtain a complete picture of your oral health. Checkups regularly have the potential to identify any general health concerns that may need further investigation by a medical professional.
Even if you are diligent about cleaning and flossing your teeth, tartar (calculus) and plaque may still form on your teeth over time. Tartar is a hard deposit that is made up of bacteria-rich plaque. Without the use of specialized equipment, it is impossible to eliminate these buildups. If these deposits are permitted to stay on the tooth or under the gum line for an extended time. They provide an environment where bacteria in your mouth may thrive and flourish. Some of these bacteria create acids that, if left unchecked, may lead to tooth decay and gum disease. In the absence of treatment, this condition may result in inflammation and infection of the gums. In certain instances, an infection in the mouth might affect illnesses that manifest elsewhere in the body.
