Dealing With Plaque Buildup and Tooth Decay

Posted on 2/20/2023 by Premier Dental
Let's face it – if you fail to care for your smile, odds are that you could have to tackle problems like cavities and gum disease. Also, if you prevent plaque from building up, you can avoid many dental issues. The build-up of plaque and tooth decay can work together and contribute to cavities. Fortunately, there are ways you can slow down the buildup of plaque and prevent tooth decay. Of course, you cannot prevent plaque from forming, however, you can remove it and if you don't, you could eventually have to deal with tooth decay. And you know that tooth decay can damage the enamel, which cannot grow back after it's damaged. How to Remove Plaque Removing plaque is pretty simple – you need to brush two times a day for about two minutes each time and floss each day. This can help get rid of plaque from the teeth' surfaces. You can still go further to promote saliva flow by chewing on crisp fruits and veggies such as carrots, celery, and apples as they help promote the flow of saliva in the mouth. And you know saliva helps control bacteria, hence aiding in the prevention of plaque growth. Reducing Plaque Buildup Although you cannot prevent the formation of plaque, there are things that can enhance its growth and others that can help slow down its buildup. For example, milk helps keep the acidity levels at minimal levels, hence slowing plaque growth. Also, drinking water helps enhance the health of the mouth since it washes away bacteria. The best way you can have a lifetime lasting smile is to get proactive in your dental care. Make sure you schedule the six-month checkups and cleanings. If you have concerns or questions about tooth decay prevention and plaque reduction, contact our general dentist. We are happy to provide you with personalized advice so that you get on track in your oral care routine and prevent dental issues from arising. Preventive care is extremely paramount when it comes to maintaining a healthy smile....
