Whitening vs. Cleaning

Who doesn't love their teeth looking white and shiny? But, what could be more important than that? Clean teeth. Going to teeth cleanings at least twice a year is #essential

Teeth whitenings may be nice for that aesthetic and very appealing to see, but just because they are white does not mean they are clean. One should have their teeth cleanings done to better their dental health. Teeth whitenings are more of an elective that one can choose to do either with at home kits that are sold like whitening strips or at the dental office. This is something that does NOT have to be done, but can be if you want to. However, this does not improve your dental health, cleanings do.

There are different kinds of cleanings that one could get and it depends on how clean you maintain your teeth at home. Clean teeth are maintained at home by brushing, flossing and using mouthwash twice a day. This HAS to be done to maintain your oral health, and it is not something you could choose to opt out of. If you are not doing this to maintain your dental health, then it will diminish and cause tooth decay. #stayaware #dentalhealth
