Tackling Your Dental Treatment Plan

Hi! My name is Addy Reed. I’m 57 years old and have been neglectful about going to the dentist. Last month was my first dentist visit in six years. I had always been diligent about twice a year cleanings and checkups, but time got away from me until one of my crowns came out. As we age, the dental work from years past tends to do that. When you neglect to visit the dentist on a regular basis, the list of things that need to be done may grow; at least this was my experience. I left the dentist office with an extensive list of things I needed to have done. The office staff was very kind. They are working with me to set up a plan. I’m going to share some ideas on how to tackle a dental treatment plan, keeping it affordable and not too overwhelming.

Known Benefits Of Professional Teeth Cleaning

Ever wondered why dentists recommend dental cleaning annually? Well, it's because professional teeth cleaning has plenty of benefits. So, don't assume that brushing and flossing your teeth is enough. If possible, get your teeth cleaned by a dentist once or twice yearly. Here are some known benefits of professional teeth cleaning.

Brighter Smile

Once you get your teeth cleaned professionally, you'll develop the confidence to smile. You no longer have to hide your beautiful smile because your teeth will be brighter. At least the dentist will get rid of any stain, plaque, and tartar that might prevent you from smiling. Regular cleanings can help you maintain a healthy smile.

No More Bad Breath

Halitosis can negatively affect your social life. It becomes impossible to interact with people once you know you have bad breath. But do you know that bad breath comes from plaque build-up on your teeth? So, by having your teeth cleaned by your family dentist, you'll have removed the plaque causing bad breath. 

No More Tartar and Plaque Buildup

Most people get plaque on their teeth because they haven't received a professional dental cleaning. Doesn't brushing and flossing help? It does, but you can't reach some of the spots using a simple toothbrush. This is why you need to visit a dentist to clean under your gums and other unreachable areas. Once you make it a habit to get your teeth cleaned by a professional, you'll never get tartar and plaque on your teeth.

Prevent Cavities and Tooth Decay

Have you ever wondered why people develop cavities despite brushing their teeth twice or thrice daily? Well, brushing your teeth doesn't guarantee cavity-free teeth. Sometimes, the toothbrush might not do a good job. And once food particles are left between the cusps, cavities will develop eventually. Luckily, you can prevent tooth decay and cavities by investing in professional dental cleaning annually.

Gum Disease Prevention

Getting your teeth cleaned doesn't only help your teeth, but it can protect you from gum disease. For your information, tartar and plaque build-up creates a good environment for bacteria to thrive. Unfortunately, these bacteria are the reason people develop periodontal disease. 

Besides, dental cleaning allows dentists to screen your gums for periodontal disease. They can easily identify gum diseases at an early stage. 

Other benefits that are associated with regular dental cleanings are:

  • Tooth loss prevention
  • Dental cost reduction
  • Reduce dental anxieties
  • Improve your overall health
  • Remove stains

Never take dental cleanings for granted, as they can save you a lot of trouble.
