Just How Serious Is Prevention For Your Dental Health?

Answer: It is a very serious topic.   If you don't focus on prevention, you will likely have a lot of problems to deal with over the years.  Of course, there are notable exceptions.

Ask any dental hygienist or dentist, they see the state of people's oral health every day.  If you ask them, I'm sure they will share with you that a lot of people are headed for trouble. 

Your Focus Should Expand Beyond How Your Teeth Look

Many people think it is all about the teeth.  But a bigger area of concern is the health of the gums.  Why?  Because that is the structure that supports healthy teeth. 

Gum disease causes bone loss and recession. When the tissue is damaged it becomes weaker.  It can go all the way to the point where the teeth start to become loose.  You really need the help of a good professional at that point.  If you want to save the tooth, you'll have to look around carefully for a good doctor.   This is because many will take the 'easy' path of pulling the tooth and giving you an implant or other appliance. 

Not that there is anything wrong with that.  It all depends on what you want as the patient.  If you ask the right questions, you may find out that there are alternatives that may not have been initially presented to you.  Remember, it is perfectly ok to get 2 or 3 different opinions.  You should too, because the difference in costs, pain and length of treatments can be substantial.

Back To Prevention

Many people either don't know or don't fully understand what it takes to keep their teeth and gums healthy.  Brushing and flossing are not always enough to stop problems from happening.  We know that is true because about 75% of people, according to many professionals, have gum disease. 

How does that happen?   It is both simple and complicated.  Bacteria run amok when plaque and tartar build up.  Daily disruption of plaque is very important - between your regular dental cleanings.  Monitoring your progress or lack thereof is also important. You have to know if what you are doing is working or not!

Most dental professionals would likely agree, what you do at home is of crucial importance.  Keep in mind that your dental office can only see you a few to several times a year.  But your struggle to prevent dental health problems is a daily one! 

That's why I encourage you to take a look at the Hydro Floss.   It's definitely a powerful tool for prevention. And, under the care and supervision of a professional, it can really help to mitigate existing problems!   You can save a lot by doing a little more at home.
