What Can You Tell Me About Teeth Cleanings and Gum Treatments?
Routine professional cleanings are frequently part of a dental exam and are one of the primary reasons that our patients come to see us. Professional cleanings remove the collection of plaque and calculus that accumulate on the teeth after eating and drinking. Plaque is comprised of a film of bacteria, which can be removed via daily brushing and flossing. Failure to follow proper oral hygiene can lead to the plaque hardening and turning into calculus. Calculus will eventually lead to the enamel of the teeth deteriorating and the development of tooth decay.
The bacteria behind plaque and calculus can also lead to gingivitis. Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease. If you have gums that are swollen, sensitive, red, or bleeding then you probably have gingivitis. If you fail to have gingivitis treated, it can advance into a more serious stage of gum disease called periodontal disease. If you have advanced gum disease you will need to seek periodontal treatment from one of our dentists.
How Can I Manage My Bad Breath?
Halitosis is a condition where you experience chronic bad breath. It is estimated that somewhere around 25% of Americans have experienced this problem. It can be cause by poor oral hygiene, tooth decay or from something you ate. If you are frequently experiencing bad breath, we are able to help. We provide our patients with cleanings, treatments, and at-home hygiene recommendations that can help you to address this issue.
Do You Offer Oral Cancer Screenings?
Our dentists provide all of our patients with an oral cancer screening during their annual dental exam. Since oral cancer is a fatal condition, it is important that you receive regular screenings to detect in its early stages. The earlier that oral cancer is detected, the more likely it is that it can be successfully treated. We strongly recommend that you receive an oral cancer test if you are over the age of 18.
