The new year is a time when people reflect on how their lives played out during the last 365 days in an effort to find areas they can improve during the next 365. If you’re concerned about living a healthier life in 2017, don’t forget to take into account your oral health as part of that. And to kick the year off with good oral hygiene, dentist J. Bryson McBratney, D.D.S. in Anchorage, AK, recommend starting with a teeth cleaning.

Maintaining good oral health isn’t only important for your smile; it also plays a critical role in helping you to maintain your overall health and wellness. As an easy way to commit to your oral health in the new year is to adhere to dentists recommendation of getting your teeth professionally cleaned at least twice yearly.

No matter how well you brush every day, a biannual teeth cleaning can imageremove the plaque that builds up over time and can’t be removed with a toothbrush. This will help you to prevent cavities, stop tooth loss, and even help to freshen your breath. Regular teeth cleanings can even help lower your risk of certain diseases, such as gum disease and heart disease.

Checking in with your dentist at least twice a year can also help you to catch any problems before it becomes too late. Whether you need to fill a cavity before it becomes any bigger or your dentist has a recommendation for your diet to increase your oral health, a visit to the professionals twice a year can help you stay on top of your oral health throughout the entire year.

Make 2017 the year you commit to good oral health. Start by calling dentist J. Bryson McBratney, D.D.S. today at (907) 562-3323 to schedule a teeth cleaning. You can also visit them online for more information regarding all of their services.
