Dental Plans-Preventing Dental Disease

Two Most Common Dental Diseases - Tooth Decay and Gum Disease Can Possibly Be Prevented By Good Dental Hygiene.

The Key Is Good Dental Hygiene and Regular Visits To The Dentist.

According to the dental experts, both are caused by the build up of plaque which contains bacteria.  This bacteria produces acid, which attacks the protective surface of the teeth causing decay.  If this bacteria remains on the teeth for a long time, the gums can become inflamed, which may lead to gingivitis.  Good dental hygiene is the key to preventing both conditions.

The dental experts say:

• Brush your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste.
• Reduce sugary foods and drinks between meals
• Drink fluoridated tap water (this does not include bottled water)
• Floss teeth daily with dental floss

The American Dental Association states that good oral health is very important to good physical health and the proper cleaning of our teeth and gums, as well as, regular visits to our dentist are very important.
