Preventive Dentistry: Maintaining Oral Health
Your smile is composed of living tissue, including your jawbone, teeth, gums, and surrounding supportive structures. Within your mouth lives plaque, which sticks to your teeth on a daily basis. The bacteria within plaque release acids while they digest carbohydrates that they feed on in your mouth. When your tissues are exposed to these acids, they may become irritated or break down, leading to tooth decay or gum disease. Beyond plaque, other factors such as daily wear and tear may lead to issues like TMJ disorder or bruxism (teeth grinding). When it comes to keeping this complex system healthy, your best bet it to schedule consistent preventive dentistry visits. Ready to find out how these visits can safeguard your smile?
