Preventable Teeth & Gum Problems
Most people know that if you don’t brush your teeth regularly, you can develop bad breath. But regular and effective oral health maintenance routines are important for so many other reasons, as well. In addition to halitosis (bad breath), bacteria left on your teeth due to poor oral hygiene can contribute to conditions such as:
- Gum disease
- Tooth decay
- Tooth discoloration
- Tooth sensitivity
Visiting Vaccaro Aesthetic and Family Dentistry at least twice a year for general dentistry in Green Village, NJ, including preventive dental checkups and teeth cleanings, can help prevent problems from progressing. If we notice areas where home dental care can improve, we will also give you tips on how to make your oral hygiene routine more successful. Proper home care along with routine dental visits offer the best ways to keep teeth and gums healthy for as long as possible!
Gum Health & Periodontal Treatment
Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults, so biannual visits to the dentist are imperative. You may think your gums are healthy, but the truth is that you might have gum disease and not even know about it. In its earliest stages — when it is most treatable — there are often no symptoms at all. However, if it is discovered early enough, gum disease can often be reversed. If the condition progresses without treatment in early to latter stages, the best one can expect is to be able to manage gum disease and prevent it from getting worse. Once it gets to a certain stage, it cannot be cured.
It is important to know that for those individuals who have had more than the “average” amount of dental work completed in their mouth, we may sometimes recommend you return for routine maintenance more often than every six months. The reason for this is that plaque and bacteria will adhere and colonize around those foreign materials in your mouth and affect the gums in a negative way.
