When you wake up in the morning, your teeth are there with you. They follow you along through every minute of every day, too, and unfortunately, you’re only given one set of adult teeth to last you your entire lifetime. That means that if you are not keeping up with your schedule of checkups, you’re not doing enough. Even if you brush and floss like you are supposed to, you still need to see your dentist at least twice each year for a cleaning and examination.
So, if it’s time for your next visit, call Dr. Andy Chang, DDS at Silk Dental Wellness.

Your Brushing And Flossing Certainly Help
But it’s not all that you need to do. When you work on your home oral hygiene, you’re removing a biofilm material called plaque. This is left behind by bacteria as they feed upon remnants of food within your mouth. It’s really important to remove it through brushing and flossing quickly after it develops, because in just a few days, it can calcify into a harder form called calculus.
At this point, you can no longer safely get it out through brushing and flossing alone. You see, calculus, or tartar, is too tough to take out by yourself. That’s where your biannual checkups come into play.
A Cleaner Smile Is A Safer Smile
When you come in for your checkups, it’s your chance to check in with a qualified oral health professional. Your dentist is there to keep you on the right track, and for most people, the goal is to have a visit twice each year. These visits include both a cleaning and an examination.
Both of these elements are important. Your cleanings serve to remove bacterial buildup of plaque and tartar, fighting back against tooth decay and periodontal disease. A trusted dentist can also give you some direction, so if you’re ready to make a change through cosmetic dentistry, let’s talk about it.
