6 reasons to have your teeth cleaned
Let’s face it, many of us suffer from an irrational fear of doctors/dentists. But just like a car needs to be serviced quarterly, our teeth also need to be serviced and cleaned professionally. A regular tooth cleaning is sure to make you more confident, healthy and leave you with a sparkling smile.
Here are the 6 great things a professional clean can do for you:
- Prevents gum disease: Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss amongst adults and has been linked to heart attacks and strokes. Regular teeth cleaning is a must for good oral hygiene.
- Check for oral pathological lesions & cancer: Regular visits to the dentist’s office will allow your dentist to diagnose and detect various oral pathological lesions in the early stages, thereby saving you a lot of agony and suffering which follows when any pathology goes undetected for a long period of time.
- Removes Biofilm and calculus: What is Biofilm? : It is a colony of bacteria that forms in your mouth and sticks to the tooth’s surface. It is soft at first, but then after 1-10 days, it hardens and becomes calculus. It is necessary to remove plaque or calculus with the proper dental tools, which makes teeth cleaning a must.
- Brighten your smile: When you have your teeth cleaned and polished, the toughest stains are removed and you can walk away with a sparkling smile.
- Freshen your breath: Nothing beats the feeling of freshly brushed teeth and when you have your teeth cleaned, you will be reassured that your mouth will remain odour-free!
- Boost your overall health: Studies have shown a connection between oral and overall health. Regular dental cleanings may help lower your risk for some diseases, like heart disease and stroke. Many medical conditions, some of them life-threatening, have oral manifestations and can be detected in their early stages by your dentist during a routine oral examination.
Hope the above points urge you to rush for a teeth cleaning. Make your teeth smile and shine, visit your dentist now!
