Dental Hygiene
Dental hygiene is a very important–yet often overlooked and/or neglected–part of sound overall health. At Distinctive Dental Solutions, we offer thorough full mouth examination and professional dental cleaning services that are individualized and based on your dental hygiene goals. We know how important the health of your mouth is – we want to help you reach and maintain optimal oral and overall health.
The Importance of Oral Health
As explained by the Mayo Clinic, oral health is about more than just your mouth – oral health is a window to your overall health. In fact, your mouth and your body are more connected than you may realize, and a problem in your mouth could negatively affect your body elsewhere. What’s more, what is going on in your mouth can be an indicator of your overall health or an indicator of a disease process going on systemically.
Poor oral health and unchecked bacterial growth in the mouth are associated with a number of adverse dental health conditions, including destruction of the bone surrounding the teeth, gum disease, and tooth decay. But that’s not all; there are many studies that suggest that gum disease may be associated with other conditions, including endocarditis (infection of the heart muscle), cardiovascular disease (plaques in the veins and arteries throughout the body), and birth issues, including premature birth and low birth weight. Fortunately, you can improve your oral health, and our team at Distinctive Dental Solutions is ready to help on your journey.
Our Dental Hygiene Services
At Distinctive Dental Solutions, we offer comprehensive, individually driven dental hygiene services that not only focus on teeth cleaning, but also on helping you to develop oral hygiene goals and put a plan in place to reach those goals. We can help you to understand how your history, your current oral hygiene efforts, your health, your diet and medications, and your lifestyle affect your dental hygiene. Things that can positively affect your oral hygiene include brushing regularly, flossing daily, maintaining a healthy diet, eliminating smoking, replacing your toothbrush regularly, making a change to the proper powered toothbrush for your needs, maintaining good overall health and exercising regularly, and scheduling regular professional examinations and dental cleanings.
Invest in Your Health
Our dental hygienists believe that an investment in your oral health is an overall investment in yourself. When you work with us, we will help you to develop a plan to achieve your oral health goals. We believe that when you improve your oral health, you are one step closer to improving other elements of your health and quality of life, too. What’s more, we hope that in addition to serving as your professional resource, we can also be a friend and a partner as you navigate the journey to reaching your dental health goals.
