Are you spending enough time on your oral health needs? Your teeth are an essential part of your smile, but they are not the entirety of it, and some other areas of your mouth might feel a little neglected if you’re doing all you can. Periodontal health, in particular, can cause some real headaches if you ignore it, so it’s important to take the time to care for your whole smile. Your gums play a real role in your ability to stay safe.
With our friendly staff at Dental Impressions of Ankeny, you have the opportunity to refresh your smile with a cleaning and examination. If it’s been longer than six months since your last checkup, then you’re due for one; these visits are vital to your smile success. Take the time to care for your entire smile with a dedicated cleaning at and below the gumline.
Keep up with your gum health. Call Dental Impressions today.
When You Skip Your Checkups…
You put your smile at risk of some serious complications. That’s why we put such an emphasis on keeping to your schedule of cleanings and examinations. We know that they might not always be the most fun of your errands, but they really do help you to stay on top of your oral health needs. And when you wait, plaque and tartar can start to pile up.
Bacterial biofilm is one of the most dangerous developments for smiles. This happens in areas where your routine brushing and flossing is not doing the job, and it can also occur when you skip your routine hygiene regimen. Stick to your brushing and flossing, and also be sure that you come in at least twice each year for a dedicated cleaning and examination.
Keep Up With Your Gum Health
Your smile is not just about your teeth, you also have other areas of your mouth that need maintenance. Gums are a prime area for bacterial problems, and if you’ve started to notice redness or swelling along your gumline, then come talk to our team about ways to fight back against gingivitis. If this progresses to periodontal disease, it can put you in danger of losing teeth.
At our office, we offer a range of periodontal services, designed to help you strengthen your gumline. When your provider recommends scaling and root planing to keep your smile cleaner for longer, take them up on the offer. Let’s work toward a stronger smile, together!
