Your smile is not just your teeth. You have a range of different forms of tissue that make up your mouth, and if your oral health regimen is ignoring some areas, you could be at real risk. Without adequate brushing and flossing, plaque bacteria can start to pile up, eventually calcifying into harder tartar. This can certainly cause tooth decay, and it can also inflame the gums. Periodontal disease, or the infection of gum tissue, is often identified as the leading cause of adult tooth loss, so it’s vital to keep up with your gum health.
Here at Sunny Smiles, we understand the importance of caring for your entire mouth. That means taking the time twice each year for a cleaning and examinations, and the start of the year is a great time to do it. This way, you know that every year, you start things off with a cleaning and examination.
