Dental Hygiene is known as the foundation of all dental health.

Hygiene is focused on maintaining the health of supporting structures of the teeth – gum tissue and jaw bones along with the blood and nerve supplies that nourish your teeth.

Every pathogenic microorganism know to man has been identified in the oral cavity.  Therefore it is imperative that you diminish the number of disease-causing microorganisms by effective brushing and flossing on a daily basis.

Microorganisms that are inherent in the mouth feed off of sugars in food and create a sticky film known as plaque that adheres to tooth structure.  If not removed daily, bacteria in plaque inflame gum tissue and destroy the bone that supports the teeth leading to tooth loosening and tooth loss.  The degree to which this happens varies with the individual.

To maximize the chances of retaining your teeth for life:

	Understand your present state of dental health
	Restore teeth as required – replace missing teeth
	Establish an effective home care regimen
	Visit your hygienist as recommended
