Developing a dental care routine in your formative years makes developing good oral care habits easier. Your dental routine should include the basics of brushing twice daily, flossing, and using an antibacterial rinse. Equally as important is seeing your dentist regularly for a checkup and cleaning. Neglecting any of these areas can have dire consequences on your oral health. Riverside, California, residents can turn to Dr. Neal Edwards for routine checkups and cleanings to keep their smiles strong and healthy.
Most people can benefit from bi-annual dental examinations and cleanings. If you have problems with decay or gum disease, Dr. Edwards may ask to see you more frequently. Dental checkups provide a means of detecting dental problems early. Early detection can lead to prompt treatment and quicker recovery of dental issues before too much harm is done to your teeth.
Regular cleanings rid your mouth of plaque, tartar, and bacteria buildup that cause decay, oral infections, and gum disease. Good oral care starts with daily brushing and flossing your teeth. But it doesn’t end there. You also need professional cleaning to get your mouth spotlessly clean. Tartar is plaque that has hardened on your teeth over time. It can only be removed with specialized dental tools used by your dental team.
To prevent dental issues, establish a thorough oral care routine that includes dental cleanings twice a year. Regular cleaning can help:
Healthier teeth and a brighter smile are the long-term rewards of good oral care and professional dental cleanings.
