Teeth are meant to last a lifetime. By taking good care of your teeth and gums, you can protect them for years to come. When your teeth and mouth are healthy, you can easily speak, laugh, and enjoy the foods you need for good nutrition. You’ll also have a beautiful smile to share with others!
Taking care of your teeth also helps to prevent tooth decay and gum diseases. Regular brushing removes plaque from your teeth. Plaque is a colourless, sticky film that attracts bacteria and sugar. The bacteria in plaque can attack and weaken tooth enamel (the hard protective covering on our teeth), and create holes called cavities. When plaque stays on your teeth too long, it can also form a hard, harmful layer called tarter. Plaque can also lead to gum diseases and infections.
The most common gum disease is known as gingivitis. Gingivitis makes your gums red, swollen, and sore, and causes them to bleed more easily. Over time, gingivitis can also ruin the bones, gums, and tissues that support your teeth. Prevention is the best way to keep your smile healthy!
