Your smile does a lot of work for you, and it needs your help to continue to do it. As you age, it becomes harder and harder to keep your smile at a high level, too, so when you reach the age of 50, there are particular things to keep an eye on. One of those things is your gum health, and that’s important for people of all ages. Periodontal disease is routinely identified as the leading cause of adult tooth loss, so keeping your gums clean can help you to keep a complete smile.
When you schedule your checkups at Sunny Smiles, you have someone looking out for you. We understand that it can be tough to find the time for your routine biannual checkups, but when you miss them, you put yourself at risk of some serious gum issues, including periodontal disease. Plaque and tartar accumulation can happen in any of our smiles, and we all rely on or dentists and dental hygienists to stay safe, so stick to your schedule of checkups.
Take care of your whole smile. Spend some time with Sunny Smiles.
Your Checkups Are An Integral Part Of Your Oral Health Maintenance
If it has been a while since your last dental checkup, then it’s time to make a change. Most people need to come in for a cleaning and an examination once every six months, giving themselves the chance to check in with their provider twice each year. But if you’re like most Americans, then you’ve not been doing a great job about keeping up with your oral health needs.
So, when you start to see or feel a difference in your smile quality, start with a visit for a cleaning and an examination. At your appointment, your dentist can let you know if you need to take steps to improve your maintenance approach.
Keeping Up With Your Smile Takes Consistent Dedication
While you are in the office for your next biannual dental checkup, ask about ways to strengthen your gum health. Your periodontal tissue provides real support for your smile, and when it becomes infected and inflamed due to bacterial accumulation, it can pose problems. Periodontal disease is identified as the leading cause of adult tooth loss.
One big part of keeping your gums healthy is keeping them clean. We can help by removing plaque and tartar buildup from along the gumline. So, don’t wait to schedule your next biannual dental checkup.
