Regular Cleaning Is About More than Just Your Smile!
Many people think that simply brushing their teeth is enough to keep their smiles in the best condition. While everyone should brush regularly, this alone will not continue to keep your smile bright and healthy! You'll be surprised the problems that missing regular cleanings can cause. Read on!
Regular cleaning by a dentist is one of the best ways to help remove stains from coffee, tea, dark sodas and even tobacco use, to make your smile look its best. In fact, brushing alone only removes 65 percent of the millions of various bacteria living on the teeth, tongue and even the cheeks of the average person's mouth. Professional dental cleaning is specifically designed to preserve dental health, prevent disease and involves polishing the teeth to make it more difficult for plaque to stick.
Regular cleaning also allows your dentist to identify small oral problems such as cavities or gum disease and take preventative measures early. Catching gum disease before it reaches the advanced stages affects more than your smile! Recent studies have linked gum disease and other oral problems to ailments including diabetes, lung disease, heart attacks and strokes, osteoporosis, and even pancreatic cancer! And of course, your dentist can use this regular cleaning to check for oral cancers and other irregularities in your oral health.
At Dr. Dinah Vice, DDS & Associates, your cleaning will be performed by a skilled professional, in close cooperation with the dentists. We want to help every patient achieve not only a beautiful smile, but a healthy one! To schedule an appointment, or ask a question, please contact Sunrise Dental, Dinah Vice, DDS & Associates today.
