Good, regular dental hygiene is key to keeping your oral health in check and taking proactive steps to ensure optimal dental health and prevent common issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, and oral infections. During your time at our office, we’ll show you how to care for your teeth properly. It is essential, however, that you continue taking care of your smile at home through consistent oral hygiene. Good dental hygiene includes several daily habits and practices that help to keep your smile healthy and bright. We recommend that you follow these basic steps to help your smile stay in optimal health:
- Brush your teeth after each meal or at least twice a day. We encourage you to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste that includes fluoride.
- Floss at least once every day. The most important time to floss is just before you go to sleep at night.
- Eat a balanced diet. Limiting your intake of very sugary and acidic foods can help to prevent tooth decay.
- Maintain your regular visits with our dentist every six months. During these visits, we will provide a professional teeth cleaning and a thorough dental exam to ensure we provide any needed preventive or restorative treatments.
At your appointment, we will review your dental hygiene habits with you, answer any questions you have, and offer needed information on any additional steps you can take to further improve your oral health. To learn more about dental hygiene and schedule your next appointment at our office, we welcome you to call or visit us today.
