If you’re like many busy people, you often put off having your teeth professionally cleaned because it seems like just one more thing to try to cram into an active schedule. However, having your teeth cleaned on a regular basis has a variety of benefits and has the potential to save you significant amounts of time and money in the long run. Most dentists recommend that you have professional teeth cleaning once every six months. The following are just four of the many benefits of having your teeth professionally cleaned.
Your teeth will be noticeably whiter and brighter after a professional cleaning session. An appealing smile increases confidence and self-esteem, helping you thrive in both work and social settings.
Many oral health issues can be kept in check or even reversed if they are discovered in the initial stages. Gingivitis, for instance, is the first stage of gum disease. If left untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontal disease, which involves possible loss of teeth and damage to the cardiovascular system as well as time-consuming, costly treatments. Your dentist will also notice any developing cavities and treat them while they are still in the emergent stage rather than waiting until they grow large enough to start causing toothache pain and forming abscesses.
Plaque is a buildup of bacteria that develops on the surface of the teeth. Although good oral hygiene at home can help reduce plaque, it doesn’t remove all of it. Over time, plaque buildup can lead to a variety of oral health issues, such as tooth decay and gum disease.
Bacterial buildup is also a major cause of bad breath. Even if you floss and brush on a regular basis and use breath mints, you still may have bad breath due to bacteria present in the mouth.
