Monitoring for early signs of gum disease
Our talented hygienist Jill has been practicing for over 20 years and is skilled at providing comfortable and thorough cleanings. At each appointment she reviews brushing, flossing and other tools to aid in good oral health. After your cleaning the dentist will come in to perform an oral cancer screening, comprehensive exam, review of the digital x-rays, and discuss a personalized treatment plan with you. Feel free to ask any questions you may have too!
Why Is Dental Hygiene Important?
Good dental hygiene is developed by making regular appointments at your New Jersey dentist every six months and keeping a consistent routine of tooth brushing and flossing. You can help prevent health problems, keep your teeth sparkling white, and have stress-free visits to your dentist when you have good dental hygiene.
PREVENTS ORAL HEALTH PROBLEMS
Having good dental hygiene can prevent cavities, bad breath, gum disease, teeth staining, and more. Getting into a routine of brushing and flossing will remove plaque and tartar, lessen decay and stimulate your gums to prevent gum disease.
IMPROVES YOUR APPEARANCE
Good dental hygiene also improves your appearance and boosts your confidence. Your teeth won’t suffer from discoloration or decay, which can cause a less attractive smile. In addition, missing teeth can make activities like eating and talking difficult and can eventually lead to facial collapse. Having a healthy oral care routine can keep your smile bright!
ORAL HEALTH AFFECTS YOUR OVERALL HEALTH
Your oral health can also affect your overall health. If you develop an infection in your mouth that goes untreated, it can spread to other parts of your body and cause additional health concerns including respiratory problems, stroke, and coronary artery disease to name a few.
NO STRESS DENTAL VISITS
When you keep up with your dental hygiene, a visit to the dentist is no longer a source of anxiety. Since your routine dentist appointments are only six months apart, and you’ve been following a routine of brushing and flossing, it’ll be easy to walk in the door confidently. You can be comfortable knowing that this is just a check-up, and if any problems are found in the early stages, they will be much more manageable to fix.
