Why would dental cleanings affect your body as well as your smile? Regular professional teeth cleanings work with your daily oral routine to maintain good oral health and resulting in a healthy smile. Preventing tooth decay and gum disease is an ongoing challenge that can be possible with healthy habits along with regular professional dental cleanings.

Daily brushing and flossing removes bacteria in the mouth (along with food particles left behind after eating) and is the foundation for healthy teeth and gums. Oral debris can form into a sticky film called plaque if it is not constantly removed, and over time, hardens into tartar, or calculus, which can only be scraped off with special scaling instruments used by your dentist.

Regular professional dental cleanings can also help prevent disease in the body too. Studies have found that people with moderate or advanced gum disease are more likely to have heart disease and stroke than those who have healthy gums. Additionally, people with diabetes are more likely to have gum disease or other problems in the mouth. Bacteria in gum disease, known as porphyromonas gingivalis has been found in the brains of some people who also have dementia. There also appears to be a link between inflammation in the body, including poor dental health, along with dementia.

So having a healthy mouth is not just good for your teeth and gums, it is good for your overall health too. Our team is happy to help keep you free from tooth decay and gum disease, resulting in a healthier you!

A healthier smile is as close as your dental floss dispenser! The American Dental Association (ADA) recommends brushing at least twice each day and flossing at least once a day for a healthy smile.

While toothbrushes effectively remove plaque and food debris from the tops and sides of teeth, dental floss reaches those tight crevices between teeth and the teeth and gum line. It doesn’t matter whether you floss before or after brushing or when you go to bed or when you wake up–the key is to be thorough when flossing. This means you will need to set enough time aside to do the job right.

Time to Floss:

First, choose a floss that works for you, whether it is a single filament (monofilament) floss or nylon multifilament floss, both work well.

— To begin flossing, pull about 18 inches of floss from your floss dispenser.

— Carefully wrap the amount of floss you have around each of your middle fingers, with about an inch or so stretched in between to clean.

— Keeping the string taut between your thumbs and your index fingers, work it carefully and gently between your teeth and up-and-down.

— Slide gently in a C-curved shape around the base of each tooth, including below the gum line.

— Then, rub back and forth and up and down against the sides of each tooth, using clean sections of floss every time you move to a new tooth.

— Once you have cleaned each tooth, rinse with water or mouthwash to remove any loosened debris.

And there you have it. To improve your smile, take the extra time to floss your pearly whites thoroughly every single day. If you have any questions or concerns, please call the team at [practice_name] at [phone] today!
