Your Oral Health Maintenance Takes Persistence
You need to brush twice each day, for at least two minutes each time. You also need to floss, as you can only reach about 60% of the surface of your teeth with brushing alone. While you wait to adequately brush and floss, bacterial buildup starts to occur, and this can really put your smile at risk. So, it’s important to keep up with your at-home oral health hygiene regimen of brushing and flossing.
It’s also important to remember that you cannot do it all yourself. That’s why it’s recommended that you see your dentist twice each year for a cleaning and examination. By keeping a cleaner smile, free of plaque and tartar buildup, you can prevent common dental problems. If it’s time for your next checkup, take the opportunity to fight back against tooth decay and periodontal disease by sticking to your schedule.
Plaque And Tartar Buildup Happen When You Ignore Your Needs
Listen, we understand that it can be difficult to find the time for your routine dental appointments. You have a lot of things going on in your life, and juggling work and social events can be really tough, especially if you are a parent. But ignoring your oral health needs can cost you more time and money down the road.
By taking the chance to come in for a cleaning and examination once every six months, you prevent problems from happening in the first place. Spend some time with your dentist and experience the advantages.
