Proper dental hygiene involves taking care of your teeth at home and seeing a dentist regularly for professional cleanings and exams. Doing so lowers your risk of developing dental problems like cavities, gum disease, tooth infections, and even tooth loss.
When you arrive at Championship Dental for professional teeth cleaning, you’re greeted by warm, welcoming staff members. Your dental hygienist removes tartar from your teeth with specialized instruments and uses a fluoride toothpaste to clean your teeth. They also floss your teeth and may use fluoride treatments to protect teeth from future decay.
During your dental appointment, you might also require X-rays to help your dentist detect or treat oral health problems before serious complications arise. They examine your teeth and gums to let you know if you require treatment for an oral health problem.
There are several things you can do to keep your teeth clean and maximize oral health and wellness at home. Examples include:
To achieve good oral health, brush your teeth at least two times daily with a soft, bristled brush and use fluoride toothpaste. Brush for at least two minutes each time.
Flossing helps remove tartar and food particles from your teeth. Floss at least once daily to maintain healthy teeth and gums.
To optimize oral wellness and reduce your risk of cavities, eat a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Limit or avoid sweets, especially sticky candies and sugary drinks. Avoid chewing on hard candies, ice, and other hard objects.
Your dentist and dental hygienist complete a deeper, more thorough cleaning than what you can accomplish at home, which is why routine professional cleanings are so important. Schedule a dental cleaning and exam every six months or more often if your dentist recommends it.
