Yes, Professional Dental Cleaning Is Really Important

Oral bacteria are a natural presence. When the volume of certain types of bacteria increase they can infect the teeth (cavities) and gums (gingivitis and periodontitis). Often there is no pain and that can be misleading, so professional cleanings and checkups gums are important to identify problems before much damage occurs.

How Oral Bacteria Impact Your Health

  • Oral bacteria thrive on sugars, i.e., carbohydrates, starches, from our diet.
  • The bacteria convert the sugars and starches into acids.
  • Acids dissolve minerals out of teeth to begin the formation of cavities.
  • Layers of bacterial plaque on teeth grow thicker when fed more sugar.
  • This causes not only cavity infections but bacteria infect the gums and cause periodontal disease that breaks down gums and bones around teeth.
  • Effective teeth cleaning often enough to keep levels of harmful bacteria low is important not only for the teeth and gums but also plays an important role in the gut.
  • The effects of oral health are far reaching. The entire body is connected.
