What Is Oral Care and Dental Hygiene?
Oral care or dental hygiene is, simply put, the process of brushing and flossing regularly and in a proper manner in order to avoid cavities and other oral issues. This also includes paying regular visits to a trained and qualified dentist in order to sit for a thorough dental check-up at least once every six months.

Importance of Dental Hygiene
Maintaining good dental hygiene is important in order to avoid the build-up of cavities and other oral problems and diseases. Other reasons why you should maintain good dental hygiene include:
- It will avoid the need to get dentures etc., in future and help you keep your natural teeth.
- Avoiding plaque build-up; also makes it important to get regular dental check-ups and cleanings from a professional because plaque can not be removed properly at home.
- To avoid discolouration and yellowing of your teeth, thus maintaining a dazzling and pearly white smile.
- Prevent gum diseases
Preventive Dental Care
We recommend scheduling an appointment every six months to stay ahead of possible dental problems. At your routine appointment, we’ll examine your teeth and screen for signs of gum disease.
Gum disease is preventable and comes on slowly. However, it can be a nasty disease if not caught early. If you think you have gum disease, our Calgary staff will present treatment options. You'll know you have this condition if you exhibit the following symptoms:
-
Swollen gums
-
Teeth grinding or clenching
-
Bad breath
-
Bleeding gums (during tooth brushing)
-
Dry mouth
-
Gingivitis
All of these irritants may indicate gum disease. With our Calgary dentists, you can prevent and even reverse these problems.
