Wynnewood, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 12/22/2016 -- Many patients often are not aware of the need to brush before going to bed. Quite frequently, they can be distracted by other things that must be done or their overall exhaustion from the day's work. Brushing and flossing can then be overlooked as a passable task to be worried about the next morning. However, Wynnewood Dental Arts would like to remind patients of the importance of brushing before bed to avoid the need for problems like emergency dentistry in Bala Cynwyd, PA.
If plaque is not removed from teeth before sleeping for eight hours, a patient's teeth are left vulnerable to bacteria. This leftover plaque can harden and calcify, thus becoming impossible to remove with a toothbrush or floss. As a result, a patient's gums may react to the plague build up as if it were an infection, eliciting a response from their immune system. This can destroy the healthy tissue that holds a patient's teeth in place, and make their gums begin to pull away from their teeth.
Wynnewood Dental Arts wants their patients to be aware of this danger, encouraging them to take care of their dental health by brushing and flossing every night before bed. In order to remember to do this, one suggestion is to to keep a toothbrush and floss on their nightstand beside their bed. Dry brushing can be a quick and easy solution that takes care of the problem.
