We continuously hear on a daily basis that dental plaque is so bad for you. Why?

What exactly is dental plaque?

• It is a yellow sticky film that actually forms on your teeth and gums, mostly after eating or drinking during the course of the day;
• It can be seen at your gum margins of your teeth with disclosing tablets;
• The bacteria in plaque apparently converts the carbohydrates in food such as sugar into an acid, and this then breaks down your teeth, and eventually causes cavities;
• It can be removed by daily brushing and flossing your teeth. This activity can also prevent a build-up of tartar on your teeth;
• It can also cause inflammation of the gums, something that is known as gingivitis. When your gums are inflamed, it will normally be red in color, it can make the gums feel extremely tender, and it can also cause easy bleeding when brushing or flossing your teeth. If the inflammation of the gums is not treated and left, it could possibly affect the actual bones around the teeth, and cause bone resorption which is also known as periodontists.

Hermitage TN Dental Cleaning

Contact Dr. Whitefield located on 4251 Lebanon Pike, Hermitage for all your TN dental cleaning information and inquiries.

Nashville cosmetic dentist, Dr. Whitefield, recommends regular dental cleaning to help remove any dental plaque and tartar from your teeth, as this could possibly cause problems like cavities, gingivitis, gum disease, and tooth decay. Interestingly, one third of adults actually lose their teeth due to gum disease. Tooth decay is an enormous problem globally. Over eighty percent of cavities is caused by food that is left trapped inside the pits and gaps on top of the tooth surface where chewing takes place, and these areas are hard to reach for cleaning. There is a solution known as dental sealants that cosmetic dentists apply, and it covers and protects these pits and gaps on top of the teeth which then prevents food from becoming trapped and causing decaying of the tooth. In modern dentistry professional dentists actually recommends that human teeth be cleaned at least twice a year by professional dentists. Some of the cleaning methods that they use are tooth scaling, tooth polishing, and debridement. Personal dental cleaning should also be performed at home by brushing your teeth frequently with a toothbrush and toothpaste containing fluoride, as well as regularly flossing your teeth to prevent plaque build-up on your teeth. Also prevent sugary treats as sugar is very bad for teeth when trapped on any tooth surface. Try and flush your mouth out with water when brushing isn’t possible.
