Dental Hygiene
Your dentist’s primary goal is to deliver outstanding service and the highest quality dental care. However, maintaining optimal oral health requires more than just professional treatments—it also depends on your commitment to a thorough routine at home. By practicing proper routine daily, including brushing, flossing, and using recommended oral care products, you can effectively prevent periodontal disease, tooth decay, and a variety of other oral health complications. Prioritizing dental hygiene not only helps protect your teeth and gums but also contributes to your overall well-being.
It is recommended to brush your teeth at least twice a day with a soft bristle toothbrush and floss daily to prevent the build-up of plaque and tooth decay. If possible, use products containing fluoride to help strengthen teeth. It is important to keep up with regular professional cleanings from your dentist to prevent oral problems from occurring.
Also, keeping a balanced diet and reducing the number of snacks you eat can contribute to a healthy smile. Eating too many snacks filled with sugar can put you at a greater risk for tooth decay. If possible, drink a glass of water after every meal to wash down these sugars if brushing your teeth isn’t an option after food intake.
Your dental office can help you establish a routine that will keep your teeth healthy and white.
