Oral hygiene is the process by which preventative dental care is provided to avoid dental emergencies. At the core of dental hygiene is the in-home dental care regimen that you perform. Next is the professional preventative dental care provided by dentists and dental hygienists. While you are responsible for day-to-day dental maintenance, dental hygienists play an important role in dental hygiene, and our dentists oversee every aspect of it.
If you are a smoker, your dental care needs are considerably more demanding. In fact, cigarette smoking is a leading cause of tooth loss. There is also an increased risk for periodontal disease (gum disease), leukoplakia, loss of bone structure, inflammation of the salivary gland, and development of lung, throat or oral cancer.
