HYGIENE
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
This proverb is especially true for teeth and gum care. Rutner Dental is absolutely committed to preventive dental care. This commitment is central to our evolved dentistry practice.
What does preventive dental care mean? Hopefully, all it ever has to mean is regular - usually two checkups a year - exam and cleaning visits to our office to ensure that your teeth and gums are looking great and working beautifully.
If you're having special dental work done, there could be more checkups involved.
Even when you are properly brushing and flossing your teeth, it's impossible to do the kind of deep cleaning that our Hygienists will do. When a dental problem is left unchecked, it can rapidly develop into:
- Gum disease
- Bone loss
- Tooth loss
- Tooth decay
- Receding gums
- Periodontal disease
Periodontal disease is an infection of the teeth, gums, and bone that surround the teeth. Its main cause is the accumulation of plaque, this is the sticky film of food and bacteria that forms constantly on teeth.
Regular deep cleaning and exams will keep that plaque in check. A consistent hygiene program will prevent small dental problems, like plaque, from becoming big ones, saving you from enduring costly corrective procedures.
If you are already seeing a dentist regularly, good for you, come and see the difference that an evolved practice can make. If you don't have a dentist or are considering a change in dentists, it's time to come to Rutner Dental and experience our commitment to preventive care. Give us a call today or make an
appointment for an initial visit.
Rutner Dental, for beautiful smiles that work.
