If you feel that your daily efforts are all that it will take to stop problems from affecting your smile, you can leave yourself at more risk for problems than you realize. This is because you only have limited protection. While you can put in work to prevent the formation of tartar, you are not able to remove deposits after they form. You also lose out on access to reviews that can result in the early detection and treatment of decay, which can reduce the amount of damage to your enamel.
At dental checkups, there are several efforts your dentist will make to keep your smile safe from problems. One is the review itself, which can lead to timely warnings about your dental health, such as problems with cavities or gingivitis. Because we can address these problems before they cause you discomfort, we can make you less likely to experience complications. Another important practice is the teeth cleaning, which will remove plaque and tartar buildup; through this care, we can talk to you about how you currently approach smile care, and we can deal with tartar deposits that you cannot remove on your own.
We can offer warnings when there are areas of your smile that seem to receive less support from your daily routine. Keeping up with consistent brushing and flossing habits can certainly have a positive effect, as it will help you stay safe from tartar buildup and other concerns. You should also be smart about your diet, as you can make cavity prevention more difficult by providing more sugars for oral bacteria to consume if you are not careful.
Through consistent dental care at home and at our practice, you can have an easier time preserving a lovely and confident smile! If you would like to find out more about how we can support your well-being, contact Gentle Smiles Family Dentistry in Dallas, TX at 972-329-7645.
