Hidden Benefits of Dental Cleaning (Prophylaxis)

Errin Walker • March 14, 2016

Dental cleaning is more than just having a pretty smile

We all know that dental cleaning has many benefits, from making your smile brighter to banishing bad breath. Regular check-ups are easy and essential, but there are other hidden benefits to consider. Many people aren’t aware that regularly scheduled visits to the dentist can have a positive impact on your overall health. Research has shown that dental cleanings may lower risk for some diseases, like stroke and heart disease by removing harmful bacteria. Your dentist can also detect the onset of several medical conditions during a regular check-up. It’s amazing what the mouth can tell us about our overall health.

Not only will a regularly scheduled dental cleaning prevent cavities and stop tooth loss, they can increase your overall health and give you an easy way to feel better and live a longer happier life. We think that’s definitely something to smile about.
