Dental Treatment

A recent survey by the American Dental Association reported that approximately 170 million Americans suffer from gum disease. To help alleviate this number, it is suggested that all people should have a dental check-up and cleanings twice a year.

Gum disease, also known as periodontitis, begins when plaque builds up within your mouth and starts eating away at the root of your teeth (the gums). This continuous process leads to tooth loss and eventually bone loss in the jawbone. The resulting symptoms can be incredibly painful. Long term consequences of gum disease range from tooth mobility to difficulty chewing or speaking properly to infections in the jawbone or neck tissue due to infection in the teeth.

In 1978, the National Institute of Dental Research reported that gum disease is the most common, chronic and widespread infectious disease in the United States. It is estimated that 70 percent of Americans have some form of gum disease. The ADA states that if left untreated, gum disease can lead to tooth loss and other serious health problems. It is for this reason that a routine dental check-up and cleaning are so essential for a patient to maintain good oral health.

At the check-up, the dentist will perform a tooth cleaning and remove any plaque or tartar that has accumulated on the teeth since the last visit. In addition, a periodontal evaluation to determine how much gum tissue and bone is surrounding each tooth will be performed. X-rays may be needed to ensure that there are no hidden dental problems. Finally, the dentist will assess whether or not you have any signs of gum disease and if treatment is necessary in order to prevent future issues.

In order to maintain healthy gums and avoid serious dental issues in your future, consider visiting your dentist twice annually for check-ups.

ARTICLE END

The article is a good general purpose introduction to dental problems which is useful for people with a low level of education. It discusses some of the causes and symptoms as well as some preventative tips. This article does not have any grammatical errors, however there are a number of areas where it could be improved. Firstly, not all the information is relevant to the reader - the statistics are too generalised and don't directly relate to people with low education - it would be better to say 70% of people in America are affected by periodontitis rather than "70% of Americans" If you want to give percentages then you must say they represent a specific group (in this case, 70% of Americans). It would be appropriate to use a less formal word choice than "plaque" when describing a substance that is stuck to the teeth. It would be better to use a more specific, technical term such as "tartar" or "biofilm". The article should also be re-worded slightly: this is because some sentences are too long and complex. It might be helpful to split some sections into two parts. The introductory paragraph could be split into two and the addendum could be expanded upon to take up the part of the original paragraph that discusses the gum disease risk factors. The article would also benefit from an introduction and conclusion.

Article 2: Dental Hygiene

Introduction

Dental hygiene is usually associated with the prevention, treatment and diagnosis of diseases in relation to oral health, although it is widely used as a synonym for oral hygiene, which in turn is often defined as consisting just of teeth cleaning. At it's simplest dental hygiene refers to "to keep one's teeth clean". Although the general concept of dental hygiene is well known, the term is not often used in daily speech.

The actual meaning of dental hygiene depends on the context in which it's used. From a general standpoint, dental hygiene is strongly associated with preventing tooth decay and periodontal diseases such as gingivitis. A speaker may use the term when speaking about a client requiring a hygienist, or from an academic standpoint when discussing research in the field of dental hygiene. Since any discussions about this topic focus on oral health and preventing disease, those with dentures are generally not included in discussions about dental hygiene because they lack teeth to be cleaned (although pre-dental patients could be included).

article 1:

This article discusses how having a good oral health care routine can help your teeth and gums. It discusses the proper hygiene techniques that you should be using on a daily basis and also the importance of visiting the dentist on a regular basis to have teeth cleaned and checked for problems. This article is useful for people with low education levels.

In general, dental hygienists make clients more comfortable by performing procedures that help clients maintain their oral health, including cleaning teeth, removing plaque, flossing and educating clients on how to prevent tooth decay. With this in mind, dental hygienists must understand the importance of proper hygiene techniques before they may examine or touch clients' teeth. People can protect their teeth by brushing them twice daily with fluoride toothpaste and flossing at least once daily. Additionally, they should visit the dentist for regular cleanings and professional advice to avoid periodontal disease and other dental problems.

Dental hygienists are also expected to educate clients on how to maintain good oral health. They should encourage clients to maintain excellent home care habits that could include brushing their teeth twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste, flossing at least once a day and visiting the dentist yearly for cleanings and check-ups. Clients may be given more specific instructions according to their individual needs.

Begin with the basics of dental hygiene. Explain what it means to have good oral hygiene and what it means to have poor oral health. Emphasize that if clients neglect their teeth for a long period of time, they could develop serious dental problems. Using a personal story can help you relate better to your audience.

Review the steps needed to maintain good oral hygiene. This includes brushing, flossing, using mouthwash, visiting your dentist for regular checkups and more. Make sure you go over the different products and tools you can use to take care of your teeth.

Teach your audience some good habits to maintain their oral health. This could include brushing and flossing twice a day with fluoridated toothpaste as well as regular visits to the dentist for checkups and cleanings.

Show your audience how to choose the right toothbrush. Make sure it's comfortable and that you brush all parts of your mouth correctly (teeth, back molars, gumline and tongue).

Go over what you should never do while brushing your teeth. This could include not using a hard bristled toothbrush or using too much force when brushing your teeth.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, good oral hygiene is essential to a healthy mouth and body. Proper brushing, flossing and regular visits to the dentist can help your teeth stay healthy and strong.
