It's probably safe to say that nobody in Utah likes going to the dentist. The sight of people in fear, the sound of the dentist's drill screaming, even the smell of a medical facility can make some people's stomachs turn. What about teeth cleaning? Those studying dental assisting in college know the benefits can be astronomical. Here are the top 6 reasons to have your teeth cleaned by a professional dentist or dental assistant in Utah.
Adult teeth don't grow back, so you want to keep the ones you've got. Regular teeth cleaning can help keep your pearly whites intact. Your own teeth are easier to keep clean and function better than fake teeth. Real teeth are stronger and require less maintenance than man made chompers.
If you're paying for dental insurance, you might as well use it...right? Most dental insurance plans pay for regular teeth cleanings and check-ups. By taking advantage of what you're already paying for, you can eliminate cost and pain for future dental work. Staying on top of dental hygiene is the key to long-term dental health.
According to The Oral Cancer Foundation, someone dies from oral cancer, every hour of every day in the United States. During a professional dental cleaning, dentists and dental assistants are also screening for cancer. Oral cancers are very curable when diagnosed in a timely fashion.
Gum disease is one of the leading causes of tooth loss. Brushing twice a day, flossing and having regular professional cleaning can prevent gum disease. If gum disease does develop though and it's caught early, it can be reversed before sacrificing teeth.
Professionals that have attended a dental assisting program at a Utah college can rid your smile of coffee, tea and tobacco stains. Dental assistants and dentists thoroughly scrub your grin in ways that a toothbrush can't.
The fact is that 85% of people that suffer from bad breath also have a dental problem. Halitosis (chronic bad breath) comes from poor dental hygiene and regular teeth cleanings can eliminate those issues.
