Freshen Breath
Gum disease is caused by bacteria. Too many bacteria contribute to chronic bad breath. Flossing regularly can improve your breath.
Remove Food Particles
Anytime you eat, there is a chance that small bits of food will become stuck. Those particles can become fuel for the bad bacteria we mentioned above. Flossing can dislodge the food for you.

Your kids cleaned up during Halloween, and now you have more treats than you can handle.
That’s also a great reason to schedule professional dental cleanings for you and your loved ones in the months ahead. You don’t want too much of a good thing to spoil those smiles before the holidays.
As a means of encouragement, here are three reasons why you should call 865-685-9939 to plan your visit to My Family Dentistry in Powell, TN.
Remove Plaque & Tartar
Few people brush their teeth perfectly every day, twice per day. That is part of the reason plaque and tartar can build up gradually. A professional cleaning will remove that buildup from your mouth.
Prevent & Detect Problems
More than 90 percent of people develop cavities, and a majority of people will have gum disease during their lives. Cleanings can reduce your risk of those problems. Your checkup also gives us a chance to find those problems early, so your treatment is simpler and more effective.
Polish Your Teeth
A professional cleaning isn’t going to remove deep stains, but it can get rid of surface stains and improve the appearance of your smile. Plus, if you want whitening, your visit is a perfect time to find which option is the right one for you.

You have waited long enough to create the smile you want. Adult orthodontic care is more common than it’s ever been.
You can get your smile in line in Powell, TN at My Family Dentistry. Here are four reasons you should call 865-685-9939 to make an appointment with us.
1. More Attractive Smile
One of the main reasons people pursue orthodontic treatment is to improve the appearance of their smile. This can be invaluable for your self-confidence and help you make better first impressions, too.
2. Fix Bite Problems
When your bite is misaligned, it affects your smile. It can also lead to wear and tear on your teeth and jaw problems. Fixing overbites, underbites, and more can improve the function of your teeth.
3. Easier Oral Care
You can brush and floss your teeth more effectively when they aren’t crooked or crowded together. You can reduce wear on your enamel when your bite is in good alignment.
4. Discreet Solutions
Invisalign clear aligners have been around for decades. They were originally designed for adults who wanted something less obvious than braces. This system has improved and expanded so that it is great for teens, too, as an effective yet discreet way to create straight smiles.
