The Reasons Why You Should Clean Your Smile
Do you think brushing, flossing, rinsing, and visiting your dentist, Dr. Matthew Scaffa, is a waste of time? Or do you wonder why you need to do these things in the first place? If so, our dental team is here to tell you that oral hygiene isn’t a waste of time and it’s quite important for top-notch oral health. We would be happy to list the reasons why you should clean your smile.
First, cleaning your teeth can help you have better overall health. This is because poor oral health can be linked to medical issues, like heart disease and diabetes. Cleaning your teeth regularly helps prevent major dental issues (like gum disease and tooth decay), which helps you have better overall health.
Second, cleaning your teeth helps you have a fresher breath and whiter teeth. This is because it kills the bacteria in your mouth (on your teeth, gums, and tongue) that cause bad breath. It can also remove the small tooth stains from your chompers.
Third, teeth cleaning helps you save money. This is because it keeps the smile healthy and strong. If you don’t clean and care for the teeth and gums, you can fall victim to dental issues and even health issues that are expensive to treat. So, cleaning your teeth helps you save money in the long run.
