Your smile is there for you each and every day. It’s right there with you when you wake up, and it follows you throughout the day, helping you to speak, smile, and chew. But it you are not exactly happy with the quality of yours, then you could have a tougher time showing up to that important Christmas party.

Been A While Since Your Last Checkup?
Bacterial buildup is a major risk to an otherwise healthy smile. Since this occurs daily, brushing your teeth twice a day for a full two minutes each session is necessary. The bacterial biofilm removed by brushing and flossing is known as plaque, and its timely removal is crucial. If plaque remains on the tooth surface for several days, it hardens into a substance called calculus or tartar.
Once this happens, it becomes too difficult to remove on your own and requires professional help from a dental hygienist. At your next biannual dental checkup, you can receive a thorough cleaning of the surface of your teeth and along your gumline. This is a big step in avoiding bacterial buildup.
