When Was Your Last Teeth Cleaning?

It's not a trick question, but chances are that if you've forgotten it may be time to come into the office again. Ideally, you should be having your teeth cleaned every six months, though this can vary depending on a number of factors, mostly to do with how susceptible you are to gum disease, or if you are already affected. Your dental hygiene is very important and it doesn't end at your bathroom mirror. If would like to know more about the benefits of teeth cleaning at your dentist's office reach out to your Hamilton Square, NJ, family dentists Dr. Polina Vaynblat and Dr. David Finkelstein of Kuser Family Dental.

The Problem With Plaque

Plaque is that sticky stuff that clings to our teeth every day, it is made up of saliva and food particles. But what makes it particularly troublesome is the bacteria that live within plaque and which can harm our teeth and our gums. This bacteria feeds on the sugary foods and drinks we consume and produce acids that damage soft tissue and can even wear away the tooth's protective enamel layer.

The Importance of Dental Hygiene

A healthy diet paired with daily brushing and flossing our teeth can keep plaque from accumulating, but without regular teeth cleanings from your dentist, you may not be doing enough. Plaque can hide in difficult to reach areas and after some time, and thanks to the minerals in our saliva, it can harden into tartar, which is practically impossible to remove at home. Unattended, this buildup of plaque and tartar can lead to cavities and gum disease.

Teeth Cleaning in Hamilton Square, NJ

During your scheduled teeth cleaning your dentist eliminates all the difficult to remove plaque and tartar, and this procedure can often even reverse gum disease in its early stages. Paired with the cleaning, and just as crucial, is a checkup of your entire mouth that keeps you and your dentist apprised of possible areas of concern. It can help you avoid surprises and prevent complications.
