This time of the year, we take the time to declutter a little bit. Spring cleaning is a great way to ensure that you’re living only with what you need, and the same mentality holds true for your smile. You see, bacteria are always trying to cause problems within your mouth, and they leave behind a yucky form of biofilm called plaque. Well, a cleaner smile is a safer smile, so make the oral health effort and come in for your next biannual checkup.
With Dr. Johnson-G’Sell at Magnolia Family Dental in St. Louis, MO, you’ve got a dentist who truly cares. Our office works with people just like you to maintain and improve their oral health, and we’re here to help you, too. For most people, the goal is to come in for a cleaning and an examination every six months, so if it has been a while since your last visit, let’s change that.
Taking care of your teeth takes dedication. When you’re ready for your next checkup, call Magnolia Family Dental.
Have You Been Sticking To Your Schedule?
When you start to notice a fuzziness on the surface of your teeth, it’s a sign to call your dentist. This is most often caused by the accumulation of plaque and tartar on the enamel and along the gumline, and it can be an indicator that you’ve been going a little light with your oral health maintenance. Bacterial buildup of plaque and tartar can cause some real smile problems, too.
Plaque is the biofilm that you brush away twice each day. If it stays for longer than 48 hours, it hardens into a tougher form, and at that point, you can no longer safely remove it yourself. When that happens, you need a trained dental hygienist to do it for you. Thankfully, every biannual checkup comes with a cleaning.
