Keeping Regular appointments at your
Westland dentist office are essential in achieving optimal oral health. You should be persistent in practicing your oral hygiene regimen. A good oral hygiene regimen is an important part of getting rid of dental plaque; which is the leading cause of tooth decay and cavities.
Dental plaque is the underlying root cause of the development of many oral health problems that would require a visit to see your Westland dentist office. Plaque is a substance that you absolutely do not want to remain on your teeth. Dental plaque is very bad for your dental health. It is a sticky, bacteria-filled film. It continuously forms on and accumulates on your teeth. Dental plaque begins to develop when food particles mix with the saliva inside your mouth. Therefore, it is very important to brush your teeth thoroughly after meals. Dental plaque leads to cavities when the acids from the plaque attack your teeth after eating. With many, repetitive acid attacks, the tooth enamel breaks down and consequently causes tooth decay and cavities to form. If it isn’t removed quickly, it will aggravate the gums. This could lead to gum disease and eventually would cause tooth loss. Plaque will accumulate in your mouth and will continue to accumulate unless it’s removed with teeth-brushing. If it’s not removed quickly enough, it will harden into tartar. This creates worse oral health problems because tartar makes it is more difficult to clean your teeth. Also, tartar cannot be eliminated by brushing your teeth. The only way to do that is to get a professional dental teeth-cleaning by your professional hygienist at the dental office. Fortunately, we can help you rid of plaque and help you to obtain and maintain great oral health. At Cavalier Family Dental, we teach our patients about proper oral hygiene routines and provide professional dental cleanings, so they can obtain good oral health.
