What can happen if I don’t floss my teeth properly

Taking care of your teeth is essential to maintaining their health and full painless use. Without daily flossing, brushing and frequent dentist visits, children and adults can experience constant pain and have trouble eating and even being able to talk. Toothbar’s Austin preventive dentists can help your teeth maintain their best health.

Periodontal Gum Disease

Flossing is essential during the day to remove plaque and food left in the teeth after meals. Neglecting daily tooth care can lead to gingivitis and periodontal gum disease, which affects almost half of American adults over 30 years old. Periodontal gum disease is also the most predominant factor leading to tooth loss in adults.

Cancer & Infections

Visiting a dentist frequently for check-ups is essential for disease prevention and early detection of cancers and infections. A dentist is trained to spot the signs of tooth decay, oral cancer, gum disease, and other issues and can assist their patients in managing the problem and better taking care of their teeth in the future. By maintaining healthy daily teeth care habits, avoiding substances and habits that decay the teeth like smoking and sugary drinks, and visiting a dentist often for cleanings and prevention screenings can make a lot of difference as you age.

Further Consequences

Untreated conditions can leave adults in constant pain, affect their ability to eat, speak and swallow and lead to worse diseases or infections in the future. Lack of tooth care can even lead to an individual’s inability to have full control of their face muscles or facial expressions. A lack of preventative care can lead to an increase in costs later on when the teeth have decayed or the individual is experiencing a great deal of pain and discovers several infections or diseases in their mouth. Consistent dental visits keep overall costs down and maintain the health of the teeth for longer.

It is essential to visit a dentist early and frequently before any signs of discomfort and schedule consistent visits based on your individual needs. The dentists at Toothbar are experienced and ready to help those with issues ranging from toothaches to aesthetic dental preferences. Downtown Austin-based Toothbar is a unique boutique dental experience that wants to ensure patients are comfortable and leave the office smiling and content with their care.
