General Dentistry And Your Oral Hygiene

Your oral hygiene efforts matter, but you should depend on brushing and flossing by themselves to fully protect your smile. Unfortunately, once tartar deposits form, they will remain in place until you have your next professional teeth cleaning scheduled. This service will remove the bacteria that are present, even when your own efforts fall short of fully protecting your smile. Remember that these visits provide more than just extra support for your hygiene, as they also provide useful feedback about your overall oral health. Sunny Smiles is prepared to take care of your smile whenever you are due for a general dental visit, as well as when you start to worry something might be wrong with your oral health.

How General Dental Appointments Help You Avoid Smile Problems

Through your general dental visits, you have access to important preventive services that will help you avoid the kind of trouble that makes restorative dentistry necessary. These appointments protect against accumulated tartar and plaque deposits by providing a thorough teeth cleaning. They also supply you with helpful updates about your teeth and gums, and even offer useful warnings about signs of poor jaw alignment and movement. Remember that the early detection of a problem can lead to early treatment, which means that you are not as likely to experience complications that have to be resolved.

Teeth Cleanings Provide Tartar Removal

Through your regular teeth cleanings, we can fight any accumulation of tartar present on your enamel. These deposits can form not long after plaque deposits gather. They are resistant to brushing and flossing efforts, making them harmful to your well-being over time. When they are not cared for, they make you vulnerable to gum disease as well as dental decay. For patients who exhibit signs of gingivitis, we can offer a more advanced alternative approach to a general cleaning. Through this focused periodontal treatment, we can fight bacteria under your gum line in order to help you recover from an infection.

Caring For Your Smile Between Appointments

There are important steps you should take each day to keep your smile clean. Your routine should include flossing as well as brushing if you want to fully clean your smile. Flossing reaches areas that are difficult to access with the bristles of a toothbrush, which is why it is important even for those who brush thoroughly.
