PERIODONTAL DISEASE TAKES NO HOLIDAY
Ahhhhh … The year is coming to and end and it's time to think about the
The New Year
and Resolutions…
“I’m going to Floss everyday”, ” I’m going to brush 3 times a day”….
Well the bacteria in your mouth have not taken the holidays
off. They live and replicate in the
space between your tooth and gum called the sulcus. They cause the gum to lose it’s attachment
that protects the bone that holds your teeth in place. As the bacteria collects deeper and deeper,
the sulcus becomes a “pocket” that contains bacteria, toxins and the waste
products of their existence. Once
established, it won’t matter how much you swish, floss, brush and rinse, your
too late!!!. You've got PERIODONTAL
DISEASE , also called gum disease. The
bone holding your teeth in place has been compromised. It’s time to get help. Your Dentist and Dental Hygienist have
Therapeutic Treatments to clean these pockets thoroughly so you can get back to
basics: SWISH with an anti-microbial mouthwash, FLOSS to remove food and bacteria and bring the mouthwash
between your teeth and under your gums, BRUSH to massage your gums and
leave the tooth surfaces, tongue, plate and cheeks clean, and then RINSE
again.
Ahhhhh… your
teeth will love you if you keep the following resolutions:
“I’m
going to Floss everyday” “I’m
going to brush at least twice a day and try my best to brush 3 times a day” “I’M
GOING TO VISIT MY DENTIST FOR MY REGULAR 6 MONTH CHECK-UP( SO MY DENTIST CAN
RECOMMEND IF I NEED TO COME IN MORE OFTEN )” “I’M
GOING TO KEEP SMILING BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MY MOUTH IS HEALTHY!!!”
In closing remember best way to keep your smile healthy and bright is to “swish, floss and brush” everyday and visit your dentist regularly!
