People can get the winter 'blahs' during the winter season in the northeast. Once the nicer weather comes many people seem to have more energy and more of an inclination to take care of their homes as well as well as themselves.
While airing out your house or apartment is often involved with our home spring cleaning efforts, It turns out that airing out your mouth is important as well. When people forgo having their teeth cleaned the number of anaerobic bacteria in plaque tends to increase and these potentially harmful bacteria are thought to be instrumental in the development of periodontal disease.
If you or someone you care about has put off going to the dentist for a cleaning, now might be a good time to go. Do not be embarrassed if it's overdue, JUST DO IT! Most dentists or hygienists are used to seeing patients after extended absences and if they are smart will not deal out a heavy dose of guilt (maybe just a little , but that is part of our job).
Some patients put off seeing the dentist after a long absence because they are afraid of what the dentist may find. Often they are pleasantly surprised. Even if some problems do turn up, it is better to know about them before they start hurting and are often harder to fix!
