Teeth and Gum Problems

A bright, healthy smile is aesthetically pleasing and crucial for overall well-being. Neglecting oral health can lead to a variety of teeth and gum issues. Regular teeth cleaning and exams prevent these problems, ensuring a lifelong healthy smile.

Teeth Issues

Tooth decay, cavities, and gum disease are common teeth issues that can arise from poor oral hygiene. Plaque buildup, resulting from inadequate brushing and flossing, contributes to the formation of cavities. Without proper treatment, decay can progress, leading to tooth loss. Additionally, gum disease, caused by bacteria in plaque, can lead to gum inflammation, bleeding, and even bone loss in severe cases.

Gum Issues

Gum issues are often a consequence of poor oral hygiene practices. Gingivitis, a gum disease characterized by swollen, red, and bleeding gums, if left untreated and neglected, can lead to periodontitis, where the gum tissue and bone supporting the teeth are damaged. Periodontitis can cause tooth loss and has been linked to other health conditions, including cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

Teeth Cleaning and Exam

A regular teeth cleaning and exam is crucial in preventing teeth and gum problems. Dental professionals can effectively remove plaque, tartar, and stains during a cleaning, which helps prevent tooth decay and gum disease. Additionally, dental exams allow for early detection of potential issues, enabling prompt treatment before they worsen. Regular professional cleanings and consistent oral hygiene practices at home, including brushing twice a day, flossing, and using mouthwash, form the foundation of a healthy oral care routine.
