Brushing your teeth is part of preventive dentistry – a collection of several treatments that are performed throughout your lifetime to keep your bones, teeth, and gum tissue strong and healthy. Preventive dentistry is working against bacteria that collects in the mouth to avoid infections.
Besides brushing your teeth, preventive dentistry includes regular flossing and visiting your dentist on the recommended schedule – whether it be twice a year, annually, or even more frequent.
During your visits to the dentist, you’ll get a professional cleaning after your dentist checks for oral cancer. Occasionally, your dentist will x-ray your mouth to ensure that everything is where it needs to be. This is also how your dentist is able to detect your wisdom teeth, and determine if they would pose as a risk to your other teeth.
