The Importance of Hygiene VisitsThe attention of a professional hygienist is your best defense in the struggle against gum disease. Regularly scheduled cleanings remove plaque accumulation before it forms a more challenging concern. Plaque often remains in the difficult-to-reach places of your mouth. Even with systematic brushing, some of it will remain in the grooves and pockets of your teeth and gums. Plaque hardens into tartar, which is beyond the scope of your standard toothbrush and floss to eliminate. Tartar accumulates below your gum line as well as on the enamel of your teeth, inviting decay and even gum disease to take up residence in your mouth. Recent research shows a clear link between untreated gum disease and other life-threatening illnesses such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Which means having your teeth cleaned is one of the most beneficial reasons to visit your dentist!
