| WHY HAVE YOUR TEETH CLEANED? |
Proper oral hygiene is important not only for your appearance, but also for your overall health. Improper oral hygiene may lead to infection, gum disease, bone and tooth loss, circulation and cardiovascular disease, and strokes.
Why is cleaning part of good oral hygiene?
|
Oral Cancer
As part of the cleaning, you are also screened for oral cancer, which is curable if diagnosed and treated early.
Gum Disease
If gum disease is diagnosed early, it can be reversed through treatment. Gum disease is caused by infection in the gum tissue and bone, eventually leading to tooth loss. Regular dental cleanings – and check ups – help to prevent gum disease.

Your Teeth
Regular dental cleanings, along with check ups, brushing, and flossing, are important to let you keep your own teeth for as long as possible, and therefore maintain your normal chewing function and overall good health.

EAT  FOR YOUR TEETH |
|
Nutrition plays an important role in preventative dentistry. Foods with antioxidant qualities help your body to fight bacteria that cause tooth decay, while foods high in calcium strengthen teeth and bones. A well balanced diet is important in all aspects of your life ...including your oral health. Please ask us if you would like more information on nutrition and your health. |
