Many people underestimate the importance of routine dental cleanings. Professional teeth cleaning, however, plays a key role in keeping your smile at its best year after year. Good home oral care is important for oral health, but it doesn’t replace dental cleanings. You need both to maintain a strong, healthy, beautiful smile! At West Suburban Oral Health Care in Naperville, Illinois, Dr. Susan Mazzei and our team recommend you schedule biannual dental exams and cleanings so we can stay on top of your oral health.
Here are seven great benefits of seeing your Naperville dentist regularly for dental hygiene cleaning:
Decay and gum disease are major threats to your oral health and can cause serious damage to your smile. Fortunately, these problems can often be prevented with good oral care. Dental cleanings are a part of that care. Adding professional teeth cleaning to your home oral hygiene routine can minimize your risk of cavities and periodontal disease.
Biannual dental cleanings can help prevent problems that weaken or damage gums or teeth prematurely. As a result, your gums and teeth will stay stronger and healthier longer, keeping your smile in good condition over the years.
Gum disease is a leading cause of premature tooth loss in adults. Routine dental cleanings help protect your gum health and keep you from losing teeth. Our hygienist uses special dental tools to eliminate plaque and tartar that gather along your gum line to prevent infection and decay. During a routine exam, Dr. Mazzei can identify early gum disease symptoms so you can get prompt treatment to restore your gum health.
Routine dental cleanings help eliminate surface stains caused by plaque, tobacco, and stain-causing foods and drinks. After cleaning your teeth, we’ll polish them to leave them smooth and shiny. With regular dental cleanings, your smile can retain a whiter, brighter appearance.
Bad breath could be due to bacteria buildup on your gums and teeth. Routine dental cleanings can help remedy this problem and keep your breath fresh and odor-free.
As your oral and general health are connected, improving your oral health can help you enjoy better general health by reducing your risk of chronic health issues like diabetes, stroke, and heart disease. Through routine exams and cleanings, Dr. Mazzei can help keep your oral and general health at its best.
You can maintain better oral health by regularly seeing Dr. Mazzei and our team for routine checkups and cleanings. This can help lower your dental bills. If problems arise, we can catch them quicker to keep them from becoming major issues that require costly care.
