Caring for the teeth and gums can help reduce the risks of many problems such as persistent bad breath, the development of periodontal disease, and tooth decay. It can also help keep the smile looking healthier by maintaining white teeth and reducing inflammation and redness of the gum tissue. This may be a sign of gingivitis, which occurs due to poor oral hygiene.

Patients in the Marietta, GA area who visit 32 Dental are educated on ways to care for their smile. Visiting the dentist at least twice a year for an examination and professional cleaning is a great start. During these visits, Drs. Lan Vo and Sean Breckley can check for any signs of decay or disease. By catching these concerns early, the health of the smile can be maintained and patients can avoid the progression of these issues to the point of costly repair.

While Drs. Lan Vo and Sean Breckley can take care of the smile when problems arise, they also encourage their patients to perform good daily home oral care. This includes brushing and flossing after every meal. This helps in removing plaque, bacteria, and food particles that may develop on the teeth and gums and can contribute to decay and disease. Without proper oral hygiene at home, patients cannot expect their smile to stay healthy. It is important for patients to play an active part in maintaining their dental health and wellness by caring for their teeth and gums every day—and after every meal—for optimal results.
