We all know that we are supposed to brush our teeth after every meal and floss regularly in order to ensure good dental hygiene. But some people think this is all that you need to do in order to have proper dental health. That is false. Good dental hygiene, especially for people with a genetic history of bad teeth, takes a concerted effort and regular dental visits. Visiting the dentist regularly, typically on a bi-annual basis, is the number one best way to prevent future painful tooth problems. Dentists have the tools and training to spot problems before they become serious. The bite-wing x-rays that the dental hygienist takes give the dentist an idea of what is going on beneath the surface of your teeth. Your dentist can spot a developing cavity before it becomes painful and infected and can fix the problem before it becomes serious. No matter how regularly you brush and floss, you can still develop problems when you least expect it. It's a bad idea to wait for a problem to become painful before seeing the dentist. By then the problem may be serious. In addition to regular dental visits, proper nutrition is a huge part of dental health as well. Sugar is the number one killer of healthy teeth, especially sugary sticky foods that stay in your teeth and cause deterioration. Snacking on these kinds of sticky foods is a bad idea because your saliva doesn't have a chance in between meals to clean your teeth and the sticky residue stays in your teeth and causes decay. Proper dental health is more than just brushing and flossing. About The Author: Woodlands Family Dental welcomes you with a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere and a warm greeting.
