Preventative dentistry is and art form at home and when you are in the arms of your loving dentist. When we perform the noble art form of oral hygiene at home, we are doing so in order to clear our mouths of food and ensure that bacteria is not allowed to develop into plaque and tartar- which causes gum disease. There are all manner of devices and products on sale designed to help you in your quest for a healthy mouth, from toothpastes to the latest sonic toothbrushes that physically break down plaque and tartar- backed up with flosses, tiny brushes and mouthwashes, you should be well on the way to a healthy mouth. As ever though, these problems never go away and are ever persistent and in the end may get through your defenses, which is where your dentist can leap to your aid and remove anything that has got through. Getting this right and avoiding the disease early on means that you will not have to suffer the more extreme methods to rid yourself of the disease if it is allowed to develop and gets a hold in the future.
