Wynnewood, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/05/2016 -- Many people go to bed without brushing their teeth, be it to get more sleep, or with the intention to brush them in the morning. Why this does not outwardly seem like such a bad thing at first, Wynnewood Dental Arts informs their patients that, over time, it can be. Not brushing their teeth at night leaves unwanted waste in the mouth for all of those eight hours they are asleep, ultimately causing their teeth's enamel to erode. Wynnewood Dental Arts recommends avoiding this result by brushing their teeth twice a day: in the morning and at night before bed.
What happens if this is not done, is the bacteria that naturally resides in the mouth, which eats the food a patient is consuming, excretes waste like any other living organism. This waste, now in the patient's mouth, is highly acidic and capable of breaking down a tooth's enamel.
Enamel is the hardest substance found in the human body, but that does not mean it is incapable of harm. By interacting with acidic waste, it will gradually become weaker and weaker, ultimately causing tooth decay. The purpose of enamel is to protect teeth from decay via covering the outer layer of each tooth. However, once eroded, enamel cannot be regenerated, as it does not contain living cells. This means the damage will be permanent.
Wynnewood Dental Arts wants their patients to start protecting their enamel by brushing every night before bed as well as the next morning. They can also make an appointment for a deep cleaning, to help ensure their enamel stays intact. Those that are uncomfortable with a procedure can be offered sleep dentistry in Plymouth Meeting, PA. Wynnewood Dental Arts caters to patients with dental anxiety by providing them with sedation dentistry in Plymouth Meeting, PA to ease their worries.
