Your oral health plays a big role in your everyday life. From the foods that you can eat to the way that you smile, you want to ensure that your teeth remain healthy. Regular dental appointments can provide what you need to maintain a healthy smile.

Teeth Cleanings

Brushing your teeth every day is a great habit to get into, but it's not enough on its own to sustain quality oral health. Going to your dentist every six months is a great way to help remove hidden plaque and tartar from your teeth. Additionally, during these cleanings, your dentist will be able to examine your smile. They can identify any problems that are starting so that they can fix them early on.

Teeth Whitening

The biggest complaint that people have about their teeth is that they're not white enough. Drinking beverages like coffee and tea or smoking can make your teeth develop a yellow tint. Your dentist can use a professional teeth whitening agent to bleach your teeth white. In about an hour's time, you'll be able to have a whiter and brighter smile that you can be proud of.

Fillings

Unfortunately, most of us develop cavities over time. When you go to the dentist often, they will be able to identify these cavities when they're small. They will use specialized tools to dig into your teeth and remove all the unhealthy tissue. Then, they'll proceed to put a filling material into your teeth. This helps to maintain their structural integrity.

Root Canals

If you don't go to the dentist or you have a very progressive cavity, it can penetrate into the roots of your tooth. When this happens, the dentist will remove the entire pulp from your tooth. This is to prevent the infection from getting deeper into your gums and damaging other teeth. Most dentists will be able to perform a root canal to remove all that infected material.

Bonding

Another procedure that you can get done at your local dentist is dental bonding. This procedure repairs a chipped or damaged tooth. Your dentist will use a tinted resin material to fill in smaller imperfections in your teeth. This resin will solidify to a hardness like that of your teeth. With the dental bonding completed, your tooth will look completely natural. Only you and your dentist will know that you had bonding work done.
