Dental Cleanings in Anchorage

Besides a beautiful white smile, there are many practical reasons to keep your teeth clean. A clean mouth will help prevent cavities and help to reduce plaque, which is an acidic substance that eats away at the tooth enamel. Clean teeth also helps prevent tooth loss by protecting your gums from gum disease, which often starts with a build-up of plaque on your gums. As the gums become infected, it can cause damage to the bones in your jaw, which can often cause teeth to loosen and even fall out. If you enjoy coffee, tea wine, or smoke, a dental cleaning will help remove build-up stains, thus helping to ensure you have a brighter smile. Clean teeth are also key to having fresh breath and avoiding the dreaded halitosis.

Did we mention that the cleaner your teeth are, the more money you’ll likely save? Having your teeth professionally cleaned can allow you address any tooth or gum concerns before they become more serious (and expensive) endeavors. Finally…studies have shown a connection between one's oral health, and the health of their entire body. Quite often, life-threatening conditions can be detected in the early stages during a routine visit to your dentist.
