Teeth Cleaning Can Improve Your Health and Bad Breath.

Getting your teeth cleaned can help you improve your dental health and breath. If you take care of your teeth, gums, and tongue, your breath is more likely to smell good. Some people have bad breath because of something else wrong with them. People who come to us for an exam and teeth cleaning treatment can get rid of chronic bad breath. Read on to learn more about the steps we took to make our teeth and breath better.

Important Preventative Dental Care

• The right way to brush and floss.

Even though it may seem obvious, brushing and flossing the right way can help keep your mouth healthy and your breath fresh. Plaque that builds up on teeth and above and below the gum line is full of bacteria that make bad smells. Plaque won't build up if you get rid of it and the bacteria that go with it every day. The brush can't do everything by itself. Flossing will help remove plaque from places like between your teeth that are hard to reach. Flossing will also help get food out of tight spots where it has become stuck. If food particles aren't taken out, they start to rot, which stinks. Visit our office for a teeth cleaning and tips on how to brush and floss properly if you have questions about how to do these things.

• Don't forget your tongue and the roof of your mouth.

Most people brush and floss their teeth and gums every day, but some forget that it's also important to clean their tongue and the roof of their mouth. On these surfaces, a layer of plaque can build up. If you don't clean your tongue and the roof of your mouth, you're more likely to have bad breath even after you brush.

• Rinse your mouth with mouthwash.

Some patients don't realize how helpful mouthwash can be. Mouthwash kills the bacteria in all parts of the mouth that cause bad breath. This includes areas of the throat near the tonsils that a toothbrush can't reach well. It can also kill bacteria between the teeth and under the tongue.

• Go to get your teeth cleaned.

Nothing is more important than going to the dentist regularly, even more so than brushing and flossing properly. We will tell you if you have cavities or infections when you come in for a checkup and teeth cleaning. These can also make your breath smell bad. We will treat cavities and infections correctly, making it more likely that you will have better breath every day. A teeth cleaning is also important because it helps get rid of the more complex plaque that builds up on the surface of your teeth, between your teeth, and above your gum line.
