Professional Care Can Remove Tartar From Your Teeth
Posted January 23, 2017 by Wager-Evans Dental
Why is tartar such a potential problem for your smile? When plaque hardens and turns into tartar, the substance is able to resist being removed when you brush and floss, and continue to harm your teeth. A buildup of this material can mean suffering prolonged negative effects, and make it more likely you will need restorative work done on teeth. You can dependably have tartar removed from teeth when you go in for a routine checkup and cleaning. In addition to an expert cleaning, a review of your teeth will reveal if any cavities have formed. People who keep up with semiannual appointments are less likely to have cavities severe enough to call for root canal therapy.
Missing Dental Checkups Can Affect Your Cavity Risk
Scheduling a checkup every six months means that a cavity will have no more than six months to develop and start to spread. So what happens if you miss appointments? That longer span of time away from the dentist’s office can allow a cavity to form, and continue to grow. You may not notice until you develop tooth pain or sensitivity, and by that point, your cavity can require a root canal.
The Importance Of Good Brushing And Flossing Habits
Better at-home oral care can help you avoid leaving plaque on teeth, which means lowering your risk for allowing tartar to develop. Effectively cleaning oral bacteria from your mouth does more than just protect you from cavities – you are also lowering your risk of gum disease. If your periodontal tissue does show signs of an infection, your dentist can provide a Perio Tray, which can help.
