It’s finally spring time! It’s a new year, new weather, and lots of new things are happening. Did you start a new routine this year that will benefit your health? For most of us this time of year means “Spring Cleaning”, and that can be taken in many different forms! Having a routine dental cleaning every 6 months is one of the best things you can do for your body!
Everything we do in our daily lives begins with our mouth. We breathe, eat, drink, and speak from it, so why not do everything in our power to take care of it? Some people may not understand the importance of having their teeth cleaned. Many may think, “I brush and floss at home, why have a professional do it?”. Let us tell you a few reasons why having your teeth cleaned every 6 months is crucial to your well being:
- Just in America alone, one person dies from oral cancer every hour, and many of these cancers are curable if detected at an early stage during routine cleaning and exam.
- Cleaning your teeth can prevent gum disease, which leads to early tooth loss.
- During a professional dental cleaning, it’s easy for the dentist to detect early signs of problems such as broken fillings and fractures, which you may never be able to find in your own bathroom mirror.
- Many dental plans cover cleanings, and you’ll save money on dental expenses in the long run by taking advantage of your policy.
Don’t procrastinate on your oral health, it can affect the rest of your health as well. Our staff is patiently waiting for you to schedule your appointment today and get the spring cleaning you need most!
