A healthy smile depends on a few things to avoid deterioration, and a big part of your efforts is keeping yours clean. You see, bacteria are always trying to cause problems within your mouth, leaving behind a harmful biofilm called plaque. This is what you brush off of your teeth twice each and every day; if it remains for a while, though, it calcifies into a harder form called calculus. At this point, you can no longer safely remove it on your own, and you need a trained dental hygienist to do it for you.

If you’re ready for a fresher set of teeth, tell Grinnell Street Dental in Sheridan, WY about it. Our office is built to help people protect their smiles through effective dentistry, and we know that that starts with your efforts at home. But even with dedicated brushing and flossing, you still need to see your dentist at least twice each year for a thorough cleaning and a visual examination. So, when you find that it has bn longer than six months since your last biannual dental checkup, call our office to schedule your next one.

How Long Has It Been?

If you’ve been going a little light on your smile maintenance, now’s the time to make a change. Most people need to see their provider twice each year, giving them the chance to meet with a qualified oral health professional every six months. And if you’ve been diagnosed with periodontal disease, it might be worth it for you to come in a little more frequently to clean deeper.

Your biannual dental checkups are your opportunity to talk about your smile goals. They’re also a time when you can experience a fresher feeling through a dedicated cleaning of your teeth and along your gumline. Let’s get you freshened up.

Bacterial Buildup Causes Periodontal Disease And Tooth Decay

That fuzzy feeling on your teeth is a sign of something. It’s bacterial accumulation of plaque and tartar, and if you don’t clear it with brushing and cleanings from a dental hygienist, it can cause problems. Biofilm leads to tooth decay and periodontal disease, so don’t let it continue.

By coming in for your biannual dental checkups, you can stay on top of your smile needs. Take the time for your next one, and while you’re here, let’s talk about your oral health goals.
