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.
