The Importance of Dental Cleaning Before Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. It’s the time of the year when people shower love on the love of their lives and do everything they can to express their feelings. 

While most people do so through giving bouquets, arranging dates, or sharing chocolates and gifts, the simplest way to show enthusiasm and happiness in meeting them is a wide grin. 

A sparkling smile is the first sign of contentment in meeting the ‘special’ one. If your smile appears dull or you hide your grin behind your hands, your loved one may miss it. 

Why hide your happiness when it can spread joy and love?

Before the big day, schedule dental cleaning for a healthy smile. A wide, and bright smile radiates your enthusiasm for the day and will surely lift your date’s mood as well. 

Why Dental Cleaning Matters Before Special Occasions?

While most of us invest all our time and efforts in picking the best dress for the date, matching shoes, or choosing the sweetest-smelling perfume, your oral health should also receive equal attention. Teeth cleaning removes plaque and tartar from your gumline that brushing alone can’t eliminate. It reduces the risk of bad breath (halitosis) and ensures you stay confident all day.

That’s not it! There’s more to the story! Dental cleaning removes stains and highlights the natural whiteness of your teeth. You can now bid adieu to teeth discoloration. What brightens your appearance more than a pearly, white smile? It helps you capture amazing pictures where only you stand out.

Health Benefits of Professional Dental Cleaning

The goodness of oral cleaning goes beyond just looking good. Regular cleanings prevent gum diseases like gingivitis and periodontitis. As it stops plaque build-up, the risks of tooth decay and cavities also decrease. 

WHO (World Health Organization) suggests a strong connection between oral health and general health. So if you compromise the former one, the latter one will be compromised as well. You just cannot ignore your dental health and expect your overall health to remain at its peak. 

Dentists can also detect early signs of dental issues during your cleaning sessions. It protects you from future oral health complications.

When to Schedule Your Dental Cleaning Appointment?

While dentists recommend booking your dental cleaning sessions at least twice a year, you can schedule the cleaning at least one week before Valentine’s Day. As during the cleaning, your gums might be in a vulnerable state, a week allows your gums to heal after the procedure.

Now witness your smile in its best shape on the big day!
