There are not many people who enjoy a visit to the dentist, but regular professional teeth cleaning comes with a load of benefits. Improve your appearance and prevent harmful disease with one to two visits per year. On the flip side, avoiding the dentist can put you in harm’s way.
Healthy Smile
Simply put, clean teeth are more attractive. Buildup of plaque can cause a yellowish tint that ordinary brushing and flossing cannot get rid of. Routine professional cleaning removes the harmful plaque buildup and leaves you with a whiter smile.
Fresh Breath
A visit to the dental hygienist can also help remove bacteria that causes bad breath. Brushing only removes surface stains, and mouthwash is just a temporary fix. Thorough, professional cleaning gets to the root of the problem to make it easier for you to maintain fresh breath.
Cavity and Tooth Loss Prevention
The same plaque buildup that can cause yellowing and bad breath can also lead to tooth decay if not taken care of. Plaque is actually acidic and can eat away at the protective enamel on your teeth. Over time, painful cavities can form that require expensive fillings. The plaque can also invade the gums and corrode the jaw bone, leading to tooth loss.
Heart Health
Studies show there is a strong correlation between gum disease and cardiovascular disease such as heart disease and stroke. A professional dental examiner can catch serious conditions based on the health of your teeth and gums, so getting your teeth cleaned could help you prevent major problems.
