By keeping your teeth clean, you significantly reduce the chances of cavities, gingivitis, periodontitis, and more severe forms of gum disease—not to mention it will go a long way toward halting bad breath.
Assessing your specific needs through a thorough examination of your gums will enable us to determine the frequency of your cleanings to get your gums back in shape. We customize our treatments accordingly.
Bad breath can be caused by tooth decay, gum disease, lack of saliva (xerostomia), certain foods and drinks, tobacco, medications, or illness. If you have a dental problem, Dr. Angela Morales at St. Andrew’s Dental Centre in Aurora, Ontario, will recommend a course of treatment to stop any infection, clean and restore your teeth, and improve the health of your gums.
Tooth loss is an inherent risk for anyone who fails to take proper care of their teeth. Preventive care—which includes frequent dental cleanings and exams (a minimum of two per year), brushing at least twice a day, and flossing daily—is vital for optimum oral health. It can help you keep your natural teeth for a lifetime.
