What Should I Know About Teeth Cleanings and Gum Treatment?

Regular professional dental cleanings are an essential element of preventing plaque from building up on your teeth. Plaque is bacteria that collects on the teeth after eating and drinking. Daily brushing and flossing can prevent the bacteria from building up. If the plaque continues to build up, it will turn into a hard material known as calculus. Left untreated, calculus can attack the tooth’s enamel and lead to severe dental decay. A dental professional can easily remove calculus during your routine dental exam and cleaning.

The same bacteria that causes plaque and calculus also leads to gingivitis. Symptoms of gingivitis include sensitive, red, swollen, or bleeding gums. If you’ve had these issues while brushing and flossing your teeth, it is important that you receive treatment before it develops into severe periodontal disease. Once your gingivitis has advanced to periodontal disease, it is important that you receive proper periodontal treatment from your dentist. If you’re in need of gum disease treatment, contact our office immediately.

What Causes Bad Breath?

Chronic bad breath (also known as halitosis) is a condition that impacts around 25% of people in the United States. Common causes of bad breath include eating certain foods, tooth decay, or a lack of proper oral hygiene. Our dentists can provide bad breath remedies, like professional cleanings, at-home dental hygiene recommendations, and specialized treatments. The dental professionals at our office and help you prevent halitosis.

Why Do I Need an Oral Cancer Screening?

Frequent oral cancer screenings are essential to detect the disease early on when it is easier to treat. If you wait until you feel a lump, the disease has typically already spread to other areas of the body. Early detection of oral cancer can help lead to successful treatment. Your dentist will perform a cancer screening during your annual dental exam. Our office recommends that everyone over the age of 18 receive routine oral cancer tests.
