With Valentine\u2019s Day right around the corner, we all have sweets on the mind. There\u2019s a reason your dentist is always harping on limiting the amount of sugar you consume, though. Overindulging in sweets, particularly those that are sticky or chewy, is the fastest way to promote tooth decay and cause oral health problems. Here are 4 reasons why you should schedule your routine dental cleaning this February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Have Braces<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sugary foods aren\u2019t a good choice for anyone\u2019s teeth, but this is especially true for people wearing braces. Orthodontic appliances<\/a> make it even more difficult to clean between the crevices of your mouth that bacteria and food particles like to hide in putting you at greater risk of developing cavities and gum recession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Mouth is Telling You There\u2019s a Problem<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are your gums irritated, bleeding after you floss<\/a>, or starting to recede? Or perhaps you\u2019ve recently noticed that your teeth are unusually sensitive to hot and cold substances or have changed in appearance. If you\u2019re experiencing changes in your mouth, don\u2019t ignore them! Visiting the dentist sooner rather than later is key to preventing more serious problems from developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You Went Overboard on the Sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know you went all out on the candy and chocolates on Valentine\u2019s Day, it certainly wouldn\u2019t hurt to have your teeth professionally cleaned. Chewy caramels, toffees, and chocolates can lead to tartar build-up and tooth decay if not thoroughly removed from your pearly whites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s Been Longer Than 6 Months<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is the last time you had your teeth cleaned? If it\u2019s been longer than six months, it\u2019s time to schedule an appointment. Along with brushing and flossing twice a day<\/a>, routine dental checkups<\/a> and cleanings are an important part in keeping your smile healthy and beautiful for a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
