Bacteria grow in all of our mouths, but it’s how we choose to handle them that makes the difference in your oral health journey; take the time for your checkups. Your biannual visits to the dentist help to remove bacterial accumulation of plaque and tartar, and they are also a great way to reinvigorate your efforts.
Here at Sunny Smiles, we help people to keep up with their oral health needs, and we know the value of your checkups. It can feel easy to put them off, but when you do, you leave yourself open to harmful bacterial growth that puts your teeth in danger of tooth decay, periodontal disease and more.

Are You Sticking To Your Schedule?
You’re supposed to see your dentist at least twice a year. For most people, the goal is to come in for a cleaning and an examination every 6 months, so when you find that it’s been some time, give your provider a call. These checkups are an integral part of your oral health journey, so don’t put them off any longer.
While you wait, bacterial buildup can start to occur. This starts as plaque, and that’s what you brush and floss away every day; but if it stays for a day or two, it calcifies into a tougher substance called tartar. This harmful biofilm can no longer be removed with regular brushing and flossing, and you need the help of a trained dentist or dental hygienist to keep your smile clean. Take the time for your checkups, because when you ignore your needs, you can experience tooth decay, gingivitis, and more.
Plaque And Tartar Buildup Keep Happening?
If, at your dental checkups, your provider keeps seeing plaque and tartar buildup, even with dedicated oral health hygiene, ask why that is. for some patients, misalignment can create areas that are tough, or downright impossible, for you to clean on your own. If your toothbrush will not fit, it cannot be effective at cleaning all surfaces of your teeth. Ask about your options moving forward if alignment is holding you back from doing what you need to do.
