Statistics show that close to 3.5 billion people worldwide suffer from oral diseases, making it a serious public health concern. Dental cleaning is an important part of any dental care routine, as it helps remove hardened plaque and tartar buildup on your teeth that regular brushing and flossing cannot reach. The process is safe and effective, using specialized tools to clean without damaging the tooth enamel or other structures.
By regularly attending dental appointments for professional cleaning twice a year (or more frequently depending on the case), you can help prevent gum disease, cavities, bad breath/halitosis, tooth discoloration and damage to surrounding structures such as the gums.
It’s also important to practice good oral hygiene practices daily in between visits: brush your teeth at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste; use interdental brushes or floss at least once daily; drink plenty of water throughout the day; limit caffeine intake; reduce sugary foods and drinks; consume fibrous foods like fruits and vegetables which don’t stick to your teeth easily; don’t forget tongue-scraping!
If you neglect proper hygiene habits such as brushing and flossing regularly, food particles will get trapped in between your teeth which can lead to buildups of bacteria resulting in cavities over time – this can cause pain if not treated properly by your dentist right away. Not only that but poor oral hygiene also increases risk factors for heart disease due to inflammation caused by periodontal disease leading directly into arteries carrying blood around the body!
Overall taking care of our mouths should be taken seriously since they are an integral part of our bodies connected through major organs including lymph nodes containing antibodies essential for fighting off diseases caused by microorganisms found in saliva entering our bloodstreams due to poor maintenance routines performing basic tasks such as brushing & flossing keeping us healthy all around!
