See a Dentist to Avoid a Heart Attack
Did you know that studies have shown that there is a connection between gum disease and cardiovascular disease.
Teeth cleaning can help you detect any dental problems early, as well as other health conditions.
That means that when you choose to get your teeth cleaned regularly not only are you protecting your gums and teeth — you are also helping to prevent conditions like:
- Stroke
- Heart attack
- Oral cancer
All while helping to maintain overall good physical health.
It’s a win-win.
How so?
Regular teeth cleaning also comes with the following benefits:
- Stains: Are kept at bay and teeth are visibly brighter and whiter
- Oral disease: Gum disease, tooth loss, plaque, and cavities or tooth decay are less likely to be an issue
- Odor and smells: Bad breath does not have to be a concern, as a clean mouth is a fresh mouth.
- Covered: Low cost as teeth cleaning is often covered by many dental insurance plans
Speaking of insurance, we will get into teeth cleaning costs in just a minute . . .
However, we keep talking about regular teeth cleaning. What does that even mean?
How Often Should you Get a Cleaning at the Dentist?
Many people often want to know, is it bad to get your teeth cleaned too often?
The goal with teeth cleaning is healthy teeth and gums.
Regular teeth cleaning is often recommended by the American Dental Association (ADA) at six month intruvults for all children, adults and seniors alike.
And yet recently, a study was conducted to find out if biannual or annual teeth cleaning was the best frequency of teeth cleaning for oral health.
So, do you really need to see the dentist every six months?
At Princess Center Dentistry we value the oral health of each person who walks through the door.
And every person has a different overall health history.
There are two risk-levels for oral health issues:
- Low: 1-2 teeth cleanings a year or every six months.
- High: 3-4 teeth cleanings a year or every three to four months
There are seven factors that might place a person in the right-risk level:
- Smoke
- Prior diagnosis of gum disease
- Diabetes
- Have a compromised immune system
- Prone to bacterial infections
- Have a past history of plaque build up
- Prone to cavities
Still, trying to decide what teeth cleaning schedule will be best for your overall health?
Give us a call at Princess Center Dentistry, and make an appointment, to discuss what teeth cleaning schedule may be best for you.
