Preventive and Proactive Dentistry
Being proactive with your oral hygiene is the first step towards healthy teeth and gums. Having professional dental cleanings twice a year, more so if you are prone to gingivitis and dental caries, means less chance of dental problems as well.
Professional dental cleanings remove plaque and tartar buildup. Tartar is a hard substance that can only be removed by your dental hygienist from Northwest Center for Dentistry.
Plaque and Tartar Buildup
Plaque is that film you wake up with before you brush your teeth. If you don’t take care with regular professional dental cleanings, plaque eventually converts to tartar.
Tartar is much like cement and impossible to remove with a toothbrush or floss. Never attempt to remove yourself as you could harm your teeth and gums.
Only your Kalispell dental hygienist has the knowledge and training to remove tartar, also referred to as calculus.
Without tartar removal your gums will eventually harbor disease beginning with gingivitis. While gingivitis is curable and controllable periodontal disease is not.
Gum Disease is Progressive
Also known as periodontitis, periodontal disease attacks the gums feeding off bacteria. The bacteria eat away at the gum line causing red, swollen and bleeding gums.
Both gingivitis and periodontal disease are easy to avoid if you practice good oral hygiene.
Good oral hygiene means brushing twice and flossing once a day along with regular dental checkups and professional dental cleanings. Follow a good healthy diet full of vitamins and minerals and you are well on your way to optimum oral health.
By scheduling dental checkups and dental cleanings you are being proactive with dental care. When you are proactive you are avoiding tooth decay, gum disease, and worse yet, tooth loss.
