Plaque is that soft, sticky stuff that builds up on your teeth over time. It contains legions of bacteria. Left untreated it will eventually lead to gum disease, bad breath and tooth loss. Frequent brushing and flossing are required to keep plaque at bay. But it's virtually impossible to remove all plaque without the skills of your professional dental hygienist. In other words, you're going to need some help. Call our office today to schedule your next routine teeth cleaning to receive help with your plaque removal!
Choosing Your Child’s Dentist is an Important Decision
Teaching good habits early on (in an environment that’s relaxed and fun) is critical for laying the foundation that promotes a lifetime of strong oral health. From a young age, children’s teeth are very susceptible to cavities due to many factors:
Children lack the necessary coordination to brush well on their own. Because of this, it is vital that parents assist in their child’s daily dental care. This encourages both thorough cleaning and the development of proper dental habits. Little kids tend to eat frequently throughout the day (grazing). This results in an extended exposure to food acids (every time you eat you make acid), which may cause more cavities.
Lack of cleaning means teeth are more at risk for potential decay because of increased acid production that hastens the development of cavities. The good news is that identifying poor dietary and hygiene habits, along with applying a fluoride varnish to the mineralizing teeth, can drastically reduce the odds of your child developing a cavity.
