The importance of good dental hygiene habits

Good Dental Hygiene in San Jose CA Area

Taking proper care of the teeth and gums is critical to ensuring good oral health and wellness. Patients in the San Jose, California area who would like to learn more about caring for their smiles will want to ask about the advantages of proper hygiene treatments. That includes cleanings, evaluations, and good home care. Dr. Natalie Provenzano and her team work directly with patients to assist them in keeping their teeth, gums, and bone healthy and strong!

Why is good dental hygiene so crucial for a healthy smile?

It is vital that you take good care of your teeth and gums for several reasons:

  • To prevent tooth decay and gum disease. These conditions can lead to discomfort, tooth loss, and infections.
  • To avoid bad breath. Good dental hygiene helps keep your mouth clean and free of bacteria that cause bad breath.
  • To maintain healthy teeth and gums. Regular brushing and flossing help remove plaque (a sticky film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva), which can damage teeth and gums if it is not removed.
  • To protect your overall health. Periodontal disease is linked to strokes, heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems.

Proper dental hygiene includes:

  • Brushing the teeth at least twice a day.
  • Flossing daily.
  • Seeing your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings.

Without all these actions, you could be putting your smile at risk of developing cavities and periodontal disease.

How often should I see the dentist?

The American Dental Association recommends that patients of all ages see their dental provider at least twice a year for an examination and a professional cleaning, also known as prophylaxis. These cleanings and exams are perfect for monitoring one’s oral health and educating you on the best ways to care for your smile. Dr. Provenzano and her Team work hard to teach patients about brushing, flossing, and the importance of regular visits to the office.
