Teeth Cleaning and Your Overall Health: Franklin Dental Perspectives

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for overall health. At Franklin Dental, we believe that regular teeth cleaning plays a significant role in preventing various dental issues and promoting general well-being.

Teeth cleaning, also known as prophylaxis, involves the removal of plaque and tartar from the teeth to prevent cavities, gum disease, and other oral health problems. It is recommended to have professional teeth cleaning done every six months to keep your mouth healthy.

During a teeth cleaning appointment at Franklin Dental, our experienced hygienists will use special tools to remove plaque and tartar buildup from your teeth. They will also polish your teeth to remove surface stains and make them look brighter and cleaner.

In addition to improving your oral health, regular teeth cleaning can have positive effects on your overall health. Research has shown that there is a strong connection between oral health and systemic diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, and respiratory infections.

Poor oral hygiene can lead to the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth, which can enter the bloodstream and contribute to inflammation in other parts of the body. This inflammation has been linked to an increased risk of developing chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes.

By maintaining good oral hygiene through regular teeth cleaning appointments at Franklin Opal Dental Co., you can reduce your risk of developing these serious health issues. Our team will not only clean your teeth but also provide education on proper brushing and flossing techniques to help you maintain a healthy smile at home.

In addition to professional cleanings, it is essential to practice good oral hygiene habits daily. Brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, flossing regularly, eating a balanced diet low in sugar, and avoiding tobacco products are all important steps in keeping your mouth healthy.

At Franklin Dental, we are committed to helping our patients achieve optimal oral health through preventive care like regular teeth cleanings. We believe that a healthy smile leads to a healthier body overall.
