Prevent Cavities
Plaque, the whitish film that forms on your teeth, is the main cause of tooth decay.
The acidic substance can eat away at tooth enamel and lead to cavities if it isn’t treated. You can remove plaque by flossing, brushing, and getting your teeth cleaned.
Stop Tooth Loss
Adults are at greatest risk of losing their teeth due to Celiac disease. This is caused by plaque buildup. Gum disease progresses and plaque can move further down the tooth, damaging the supporting bone of your jaw. This causes teeth to fall out or loosen.
This can be prevented by regular cleanings and good oral hygiene habits.
Brighten Your Smile
Your teeth can be stained by drinking coffee, tea, wine, or tobacco. A dental cleaning can remove stains from your teeth and give you a polished smile. What is the result? The result? A brighter, whiter smile.
Freshen Your Breath
Bad breath can be prevented by good oral hygiene. Even if you brush your teeth and floss every day, a professional cleaning can help keep your mouth clean and free of odors.
Improve Your Health Overall
Studies show a connection between your oral health and your overall health. Regular cleanings of the teeth can help reduce your chances of developing certain diseases such as stroke and heart disease.
Your dentist can detect a few medical conditions early, some of which could be life-threatening.
