Addressing excessive plaque at a Hendersonville area dental practice

Gum disease is a serious and chronic condition that can affect patients of all ages. Caused by the development of dental plaque, tartar, and bacteria, gum disease (also referred to as periodontal disease) is a problem that must receive proper treatment in order for patients to enjoy a healthy, beautiful smile for life.

What is the Dental Plaque On Teeth Explained By Dentist Near Me, In Arden, NC

Dr. Christopher Port, of Family Dental Health of South Asheville, provides oral health care for patients in and around the Hendersonville area. He works hard to help his patients understand the benefits of a healthy smile. Patients who take good care of their teeth with regular brushing and flossing can avoid the development and progression of conditions such as gum disease.

Brushing and flossing can help in reducing and removing dental plaque. Brushing should be done after every meal, and flossing should be done at least once a day, preferably at night to remove any food particles that may be stuck between the teeth. Additionally, patients should visit Dr. Christopher Port for regular cleanings. Dental cleanings by an experienced professional are much more thorough than brushing and flossing at home. A dentist can remove a large amount of plaque and tartar from the teeth, allowing patients to achieve better oral health than they could on their own.

5 Dentist Asheville - 5 Star Review
Lisa Santiago Linger
Best dentist experience I've ever had! Everyone is incredibly nice and personable. It's evident that this isn't just work for the employees, but an enjoyable place to be. I was very impressed with how well they communicated with one another and worked diligently to personalize the experience for me and other customers. I wasn't just another mouth to clean, but a person who they wanted to get to know, and I still came out of there with an exceptional cleaning and more knowledge about my dental hygiene than when I came in. I'm so thankful for their wonderful work and service, not to mention the two freshly baked cookies on my way out!
