7 Reasons to see a Dental Hygienist
In this day and age, when everyone is so conscious of their appearance, maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for overall health as well as attractiveness.
A number of dental and medical issues, including gum disease, infections, bone loss, heart disease, strokes, and more, can be brought on by poor oral hygiene.
Here are 7 reasons why it is important to see our dental hygienist Richmond.
· To Prevent Gum Disease.
90% of people have experienced gum disease, whether it was mild, moderate, or severe, at some point in their lives.
One of the main causes of adult tooth loss, gum disease is an infection of the gum tissues and bone that support your teeth. It can be painless, and many people are unaware they have it. If caught early, it is treatable and reversible.
If treatment is not received, gum disease may progress to a more serious state.
- Dental care is crucial if you don't want to discover that you have gum disease when you wake up one day.
- Knowledge is not an excuse.
- If you do not take the trouble to maintain dental hygiene, you will unavoidably be the one to pay the price.
- Gum disease can be prevented primarily with regular dental and hygienist visits, daily flossing, and twice-day brushing.
· To Help Maintain Good Physical Health.
Recent research has connected gum disease, which is brought on by poor dental hygiene, to heart attacks and strokes. Regular dental cleanings maintain your teeth and gums strong and may lower your risk of heart disease and stroke.
· To Keep Your Teeth.
We recommend routine dental cleanings and examinations because gum disease is one of the major contributors to adult tooth loss.
To retain as many teeth as you can, brushing and flossing are essential.
Maintaining your teeth results in improved chewing and, eventually, greater health.
· To Detect Dental Problems Early.
Any early indications of issues with your teeth and gums can be found by your dentist Richmond and hygienist. If discovered early enough, gum disease, fractured fillings, and cavities are all easily remedied. If these issues are not addressed, root canal therapy, gum surgery, and tooth extraction may be the only accessible treatments.
· To Maintain Good Oral Health.
Even though we all understand the need of dental cleanliness, many people still neglect to properly care for their teeth. It's considered to be one of those inconvenient things that we can ignore once or twice. Of course, you rush to go for work in the morning like most people do, and after a long day, all you want to do is drop into bed. However, this can lead to you forgetting to use your mouthwash, floss, toothpaste, or toothbrush. If this is the case for you, you might not be aware that your teeth are in bad shape.
By visually inspecting you and comparing your current visit to past ones, our dental hygienist will help to make sure that you are maintaining your dental health. If you are straying from your routine, she will help you get back on track.
These issues can be avoided with regular cleanings from our hygienist, who can also give you the guidance and inspiration you need for good oral hygiene.
· To Have a Bright White Smile.
The majority of red wine, coffee, tea, and tobacco stains can be removed by your dental hygienist.
Our hygienist will polish your teeth to a beautiful shine while performing your cleaning.
The result? A whiter brighter smile! and a more confident you!!
· To Prevent Bad Breath.
Halitosis, more often known as foul breath, can afflict anyone at any time and is brought on by a variety of causes. However, some medical disorders can also contribute to foul breath. The most frequent reasons of bad breath are treatable and preventive.
Bacteria in the mouth are to blame for 90% of cases of bad breath.
The main reasons of bad breath are a variety of foods, poor dental hygiene, periodontal disease, smoking, food impaction, incorrect or faulty restorations, dirty dentures, and an excessive amount of bacterial growth on the tongue. (Post-nasal drip)
Our hygienist can offer recommendations for breath freshening items.
Your dentist in Richmond or medical professional should address chronic halitosis if it is a sign of an underlying medical condition.
