We all know that taking care of our oral health is very important - we need to brush and floss twice a day and visit the dentist at least once a year. But dental hygiene is also very important and should be carried out 1-2 times a year. Read on to find out five reasons why professional dental hygiene is so necessary and where to get it!
Reason 1: concern for more than just oral health
Various dental health problems have a negative impact on the oral cavity - they can result in various gum diseases and the loss of a tooth (or even several teeth). Oral cavity health also affects your whole body. For example, tooth decay that is not prevented in time can lead to serious cardiovascular problems.
Reason 2: long-term savings
The cost of going to the dentist can be quite significant, especially if problems have been neglected for a long time and have been allowed to fester. The treatment process itself can be time-consuming and not very pleasant, so dental hygiene will definitely pay off in the long run, both in terms of money and time, as you will need to visit the dentist less often.
Reason 3: early detection and prevention of problems
Dental hygiene with a professional helps to detect various tooth decay and diseases at an early stage, allowing treatment to be started more quickly and effectively. So you can save time and money again. Needless to say, it is virtually impossible to see or feel relatively minor damage in hard-to-reach places or under plaque at home.
Reason 4: a beautiful smile
Dental hygiene is primarily necessary to take care of your oral cavity health, but you can often see a visual improvement after a visit to the hygienist. Specifically, the teeth look whiter thanks to the plaque removed. However, there are many other factors that affect the shade of your teeth, so sometimes teeth whitening is needed to make a real difference. This task should also be entrusted to a professional, as using inappropriate products yourself can cause tooth decay and other serious problems.
Reason 5: to get useful advice
Dental hygiene is not just a set of measures that are carried out in the hygienist's office. A professional will also share valuable tips on how to take care of your teeth and oral health on a daily basis. This can include advice on the best toothbrush, toothpaste, mouthwash or dental floss, optimal brushing technique, and other details. For this reason, visiting a dental hygienist is especially important for children to teach them how to take good care of their teeth and oral cavity health from an early age.
