DENTAL HYGIENE
THE IMPORTANCE OF REGULAR DENTAL HYGIENE VISITS
Regular oral hygiene visits are one of the simplest and most effective ways to maintain your oral health. These appointments not only help keep your teeth and gums in great condition but also play a crucial role in preventing more invasive—and costly—procedures down the line.
Did you know that nearly 90% of adults will experience some form of gum disease caused by plaque during their lifetime? If left untreated, plaque can accumulate on your teeth and gums, leading to several serious issues, including:
Bad Breath:
Persistent bad breath can be a sign of underlying dental problems.
Dental Decay:
Untreated plaque can contribute to cavities and tooth decay.
Dental Erosion:
Plaque buildup can erode tooth enamel, leading to sensitivity and pain.
Gum Disease:
This common condition can cause swelling, bleeding, and even tooth loss if not addressed.
