Teeth Cleaning Regular dental cleanings prevent tooth loss, tooth decay, and gum disease. Additionally, these twice-a-year exams can help detect dental problems early. Professional cleanings use a mildly coarse toothpaste to clean your teeth more thoroughly than you are able to from your home. Freshness is achieved by removing stubborn tartar and plaque. If neglected, plaque leaves a residue on your teeth, and tartar can only be removed professionally. You can maintain optimum oral health and function with professional teeth cleanings from our dentists. Our dental team at Infinity Dental Care has vast experience in establishing and maintaining smiles for our patients that helps you feel and look good. Watch Your DietBeverages and foods that provide cleaning protection naturally can help extend your dental cleaning. Celery, apples, and carrots are crunchy and aid in increasing saliva production, which neutralizes cavity-causing acid. Foods rich in calcium, such as broccoli and spinach can strengthen the jawbone and enamel on your teeth. Foods high in protein such as nuts, meat, and eggs provide phosphorus which is a nutrient that facilitates your body to use calcium effectively. When you eat more foods that assist in keeping your teeth clean, you should also reduce sugar consumption. In your mouth, sugar promotes acidity and bacterial growth, which creates an ideal environment for plaque to grow. Watch out for sugar that is hidden in processed drinks and foods. Proper Oral HygieneHow you take care of your teeth after a dental cleaning affects just how long you experience the benefits. We recommend brushing for two minutes twice a day and flossing every day, even if your teeth feel clean. Brush your teeth at a 45-degree angle with your toothbrush. When brushing, cover a small area at a time, and apply soft pressure. Brush your teeth vertically while using soft strokes as you brush up and down on each and every tooth. Don't skip a section and overbrush one. Make sure to brush the outer surfaces, chewing surfaces, and inner surfaces of all of your teeth. Don't forget to floss. You risk bad breath when you don't floss, as food particles can get stuck between your teeth and bind with bacteria. Treat Dental and Physical ProblemsLeaving oral problems untreated can hinder maintaining good dental health. Dry mouth, caused by certain medical treatments, medications, or health conditions, reduce the production of saliva and keep plaque on your teeth longer. Plaque can also develop when dental devices or damaged fillings go unrepaired. Bad breath can also result from specific medical conditions. A common condition known as gastroesophageal reflux disease can lead to too much stomach acid in your mouth. Learn more about dental cleanings and how you can extend their benefits.
