The most crucial action you can take to maintain your mouth and teeth healthily is to get regular teeth cleaning at home and the dentist. The plaque will build up on your teeth in hard-to-reach places even if you regularly brush and floss. The plaque subsequently hardens into tartar, which a specialist must remove. As part of your biannual visit to Edmonton West Dental, we give complete tooth cleanings and dental exams. Our goal is to keep your teeth and gums healthy so that fillings, crowns, and other procedures aren’t required in the future.
The Risks of Not Getting Your Teeth Cleaned regularly
Plaque that builds up in hard-to-reach corners of your mouth will harden into tartar. Tartar is usually difficult to remove, so regular dental cleanings are so important. Tartar, if left unchecked, can lead to tooth decay, cavities, gum tissue erosion, gum disease, and other issues. Periodontitis, often known as gum disease, causes swelling and bleeding in the mouth and can lead to tooth loss. Routine cleanings assist in avoiding this problem and allow your dentist in Edmonton to spot disease early on when it’s easier to treat. Dentists can also detect early signs of oral cancer during routine cleanings, making treatment and cure significantly easier.
Teeth Cleaning Benefits
Regular teeth cleanings have additional benefits, such as refreshing your breath and giving you a brighter smile and the ability to prevent gum disease, tooth decay, and other oral health problems. Teeth cleanings regularly can help remove stains that dull and darken your teeth, such as coffee, cigarette, or other product stains. Food or plaque caught in difficult corners of your mouth, which can lead to bad breath, are also removed during the cleaning. Their removal can help you breathe better and clearer.
When You Need Your Teeth Cleaned
We, like other dentists, recommend that you have your teeth cleaned at least twice a year. A complete teeth cleaning and dental inspection every six months help remove buildup before it creates major problems and allows your Edmonton dentist to detect illnesses or decay before it becomes severe. Patients at high risk for dental disease, on the other hand, may require more frequent cleanings. If you smoke, are pregnant, have gum disease, diabetes, or have a lot of cavities, you may be more susceptible to dental illness and might benefit from more frequent cleanings.
