It’s something that you need to do. You see, as bacteria in your mouth feed upon leftover particles of food, they leave behind some acidic waste called plaque. If this material remains, it calcifies into a tougher form called calculus, too, and at that point, you can no longer safely remove it yourself. And when bacterial buildup winds up at and beneath your gumline, periodontal disease begins, so take the time to talk to your dentist about ways to fight back.
Here at Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY, Dr. Justin Coon, DDS and Dr. Cody Coon, DDS help people maintain their smiles through consistent checkups, real restoration, and more. Our office understands the importance of quality gum health, too, as periodontal disease is continuously ranked as the leading cause of tooth loss in this country.

Your Prevention Is Your Chance To Keep Problems Away
As oral health professionals, we know that often, the most effective way to fight dental problems is to avoid them entirely. That’s why we recommend that our patients see their dental team twice each year for a cleaning and an examination. These visits are called biannual checkups, and like the name suggests, they’re intended every six months.
At your next checkup, we’ll take a look at what’s going on through a visual examination. We’ll also remove built-up bacterial accumulation of plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth. That step is an incredibly valuable one, since plaque and calculus cause major issues if ignored.
Let’s Talk About Gum Health While You’re Here
When you are in the dental office for your next biannual dental checkup, it’s a great time to discuss your dental direction. Our team can take detailed measurements of your gum tissue all around your mouth to see if there are any spots that could use some help. If so, we’re here for that.
Through ultrasonic scaling and root planing, we remove plaque and calculus from smiles, even below the gumline. By getting rid of that nasty stuff, you can let your gum tissue heal. That’s a real advantage for your oral health.
