Some people think that if they aren’t experiencing any tooth pain or other oral hygiene issues, they can put off visiting the dentist. However, everyone should receive thorough teeth cleaning every six months. The dentist and staff at the office of Bradley M. Stewart in Olive Branch, MS, encourage all of their patients to come in for regular dental care to maintain their oral hygiene and keep them in the greatest possible health.

Here are some ways you can benefit from having regular teeth cleanings:

• Proactively Save Money: When you visit the dentist every six months for teeth cleaning, you reduce your risk of developing serious oral conditions such as gum disease and bone loss, which could be both costly and painful to fix. Many dental insurance plans offer free preventative care or low co-payments for regular teeth cleaning, so you’ll actually save money in the long run by visiting the dentist regularly.

• Improve Overall Wellness: Most people think that oral wellness consists of the mouth alone, but in reality, maintaining healthy teeth and gums is an effective way to boost your overall health. In fact, it’s possible that maintaining good oral hygiene with professional teeth cleaning could lower your risk of developing potentially deadly conditions, such as stroke and heart disease.
• Prevent Cavities: Cavities can cause toothaches and cost money to have them filled. To reduce your risk of developing cavities, the professional staff at the office of Bradley M. Stewart will perform a thorough dental cleaning to eradicate plaque and tartar buildup.
