Sure, regular cleanings with our office promote good oral hygiene, but did you know they can also prevent a multitude of diseases? That two o'clock visit with the dentist may not seem nearly as exciting as a late lunch with a friend, but it will be worth it in the long run.
Here are some great reasons to keep up with your regular cleaning schedule!
1. It prevents oral cancer. You may or may not realize that you're screened for oral cancer during your regular dental cleaning.Early diagnosis is the key.
2. It wards off gum disease. Gum disease (an infection in the gum tissues and bone that keep your teeth in place) is one of the leading causes of adult tooth loss. It can be treated and reversed if diagnosed early. Unfortunately, not receiving treatment will lead to a more serious and advanced state of gum disease. Regular cleanings and check-ups and daily brushing and flossing are key weapons in the fight against these conditions.
3. It's about more than your mouth. Did you know that studies have linked heart attacks and strokes to gum disease associated with poor oral hygiene? A trip to our office every six months could reduce your risk of serious health problems.
4. You want to preserve your smile. As mentioned, gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss in adults. To keep your pearly whites intact, stick with your cleaning schedule.
