If you want to be effective at preventing problems with your smile, you should rely on both in-office care and your daily routine. Each one supports the other, and should not be seen as a substitute. When you practice good daily habits, you lower your risk for tartar buildup, the onset of gum disease and tooth decay, and other problems. When you consistently meet with your dentist to have your smile evaluated and cleaned, you enjoy another layer of protection against oral health threats, one that removes tartar buildup that you cannot tend to through brushing and flossing alone.
Tartar buildup will form when plaque deposits harden. The material resists removal via brushing and flossing. As a result, the accumulation remains a problem, one that can hurt your smile and also make you worried over the health of your teeth. Because your hygienist is able to remove these deposits, they can be taken care of before they create any further issues, and so that they stop making you self-conscious about how you look.
Based on your dentist’s evaluation, we will determine if you need more than just the routine services provided at a preventive appointment. The good news about cavity detection is that it will help you avoid complications, as we can treat a problem before it causes you any discomfort!
Through your regular dental exams and cleanings, you receive important support—when this support is delivered on a regular basis, you are less likely to experience difficulties because of cavities, tartar buildup, gum disease, and other threats.
