Proactive Prevention vs. Reactive Resolution
As a Naperville dentist, most of my patients assume that I spend the majority of my time focused on teeth. If it weren’t for that assumption, they wouldn’t be right. You see, when I am working on teeth, it is usually to remove cavities — cavities that my Plainfield dental patients might have been able to prevent with a solid hygiene regimen.
By heredity, some mouths contain more bacteria and have a greater predisposition toward the production of cavities. By looking at a mouth, I can tell fairly quickly if the root problem is nature or nurture.
A consistent Bolingbrook dental hygiene program is mostly for the gums, since they are the true foundation of your oral health. Get the gums healthy, and the teeth will follow suit. Allows the gums to degenerate, and the teeth will likewise follow suit. The good news is that, with a little daily practice, effective hygiene can be quick and easy.
