During the month of October, you plan your family\u2019s\ncostumes, stock up on treats, and get ready for the fun festivities to come.\nRight now, your children\u2019s thoughts (and maybe even your own thoughts) are\nfocused on candy and enjoying every minute of Halloween. But did you know that\nOctober is also National Dental Hygiene Month? Giving your teeth the basic care\nthey need, including a teeth cleaning in Williamsburg, can help you keep your\nsmile strong. In this post, you\u2019ll learn more about the benefits of dental\nhygiene, which can pave the way toward lifelong oral health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Take Away Bacteria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You may have heard that candy causes cavities. Well, this\nisn\u2019t exactly true. Candy is indirectly bad for your teeth, because the sugar\nfeeds harmful bacteria in your mouth. When food particles and bacteria mix, it\ncreates plaque, a white, sticky substance. If allowed to stay, plaque calcifies\ninto tartar. Then, these bacteria produce acids that erode your tooth enamel,\neventually causing tooth decay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting your teeth professionally cleaned every six months\nallows your dentist in Williamsburg to remove any spots in your smile that you\nmay have missed in your daily oral care. Plaque and tartar can especially build\nup between teeth and near the gum line where flossing and brushing is more difficult.\nWith professional tools and training, your dental team is able to reduce the\nharmful bacteria in your mouth, thus keeping your smile from damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Treat Gingivitis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the most common and yet most potentially harmful oral\nissues you can experience is gum disease. In fact, nearly half of American\nadults have an advanced form of this condition. Without treatment, gum disease\ncan lead to tooth loss and an increased risk of heart disease and other serious\nmedical problems. When you attend your routine dental appointments every six\nmonths, your dentist is more likely to catch the problem early during the first\nstage of development, which is called gingivitis. At this stage, the gums are\ntender and red, but a simple teeth cleaning is usually enough to treat and\nreverse the damage, giving you a clean, healthy smile again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remove Stains<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your tooth enamel is the strongest material that you have in\nyour body. However, it is also porous, meaning that it can absorb stains. Some\nfoods and drinks are particularly notorious for making teeth appear yellow or\ndull, including coffee, wine, chocolate, tomato sauce, and more. Although you\nshould brush your teeth every day, and you can use whitening toothpastes, a\nprofessional teeth cleaning can provide a deeper level of clean than you can\nachieve on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you can certainly enjoy your fair share of sugary\ntreats this Halloween, remember to take proper care of your teeth. In addition\nto your daily at-home brushing and flossing, you need to make sure that you\nstay current with your dental visits. That way, you can keep your smile healthy\nand strong for years to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
