DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA : Dental Care in FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA By FAMILY DENTIST FOUNTAIN
VALLEY CA
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Hey, I just got a reminder card that I am supposed to
visit my DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA for my 6 month cleaning.
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Congratulations! I always like going to a dentist.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT You are a dentist. DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA What can I say,
I like myself. FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT That is so
nice. So let me ask you something. 6 months. Who came up with 6 months? Why are we all
supposed to go in for cleanings every 6 months? DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA There is actually
no hard and fast rule that everybody needs a cleaning every 6 months.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Great. So what’s the longest I can wait between office cleanings?
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA How much do you like your teeth?
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Actually, I’m pretty fond of them.
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA 6 months is about the maximum most people can go between cleanings
if they want healthy teeth and gums healthy that look really good.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT I’m all about looking good and staying healthy.
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Now some people actually need to go more often, maybe every
few months, if they tend to get cavities. FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Or if they
want their teeth looking really good. DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA That’s right.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT So why do some people tend to get cavities more than others?
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Essentially, it comes down to dental plaque.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Dental plaque, I should have known. That dental plaque, always
a problem. One thing, what is dental plaque? DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Dental plaque is
actually a mix of sugar, protein and mucous that forms on your teeth.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Are you kidding? DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Dental plaque forms
in your mouth soon after eating any type of carbohydrates.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Like sugar? DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Sugar is the worst.
The plaque itself isn’t a problem for teeth. The real problem is the bacteria that grow
in plaque, which will cause cavities. FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT That’s why
dentists really don’t want us eating sugar. DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Exactly. But there
are several factors that contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Like what? DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Heredity. How healthy
are your teeth to begin with, and how well does your body fight infection and cavities.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Hadn’t thought about that.
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Another factor is the type of bacteria that are in your mouth.
Some people have more of the kind of bacteria that cause decay and gum disease.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT I can’t really control my heredity.
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Nor can you control the type of bacteria in your mouth.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Bummer. Any other factors?
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Saliva. FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Saliva. Yucky.
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Not yucky. Needed. It protects your teeth against cavities.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT Have I mentioned how much I love saliva?
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA The saliva and the enzymes it contains will help fight cavities.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT That is fantastic. DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA But some people
have too little saliva. These can be people who breathe mostly through their mouths or
who are on certain medications. They lose the protection of this saliva and have much
more tooth decay and inflammation in their gums.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT So they have to take especially good care of their teeth.
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Which leads us to the final main factor. How well you brush
and floss your teeth. Again, this is entirely in your control. Do you routinely floss and
scrub the plaque and bacteria off your teeth or do you let it build up?
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT And do you go in regularly for office cleanings to get
your teeth sparkling clean? DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA Exactly right.
Since no two people have the same health condition, someone may need to go every 6 months. Others
may need to go more often. I think of it like getting a haircut. It's refreshing. Your DENTIST
FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA will consider all the factors when they tell you how often to come in.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT I probably should listen.
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA That’s what I would do.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT You’re the dentist.
DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA I like to listen to myself. What can I say - I’m an interesting
FOUNTAIN VALLEY DENTAL PATIENT My dentist tells me that prevention is better and cheaper
than cure. If you want to have a healthy smile, call your local DENTIST FOUNTAIN VALLEY CA

You will be happy when you look and feel great with your smile!
