Combat Gum Disease with Professional Teeth Cleaning

With your hands full to the brim with many to-do things, it’s nearly impossible to do everything that needs to be done. Your master’s degree thesis can wait. And even that pressing urge to hang out with friends can happen next time. While you can put off many essential things, at Patel and Dornhecker Dentistry in Cincinnati, Ohio, we plead with you not to neglect your oral health.

To maintain your teeth and gums at their healthy best, you brush twice a day, floss daily, and mouth rinse to ward off pesky bacteria. Besides, you eat healthy foods and try as much as possible to stay away from sugary foods. While these at-home healthy habits are superb, they aren’t enough. To complete your oral hygiene regime, you must infuse dental cleanings into your routine.

Dental cleaning and prevention of gum disease

Did you know that gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss in the US? Unfortunately, the sneaky nature of gum disease can go unnoticed until it reaches an irreversible stage that causes tooth loss and gum deterioration. For this reason, it’s essential to see a dentist every six months. Dentists can easily spot signs of gum disease at an early stage when it’s easily treatable.

Also, during your appointment, your dentist cleans your teeth professionally, eliminating stubborn tartar and plaque that isn’t easily removed by brushing and flossing. Dentists use special equipment and techniques to reach below the gum lines, eliminating any gum disease-causing calculus.

Besides gum disease prevention, other reasons you shouldn’t skip professional dental cleanings include:

• Dental cleanings remove stubborn stains, brightening your smile
• Physical examination of your mouth may spot early signs of oral cancer and cavities
• Teeth cleaning saves money by saving you expensive restorative treatments
• Eliminates bad breath (halitosis)
• Your dentist provides handy advice during cleanings that become essential in maintaining lifelong oral care habits
