Our staff puts a lot of effort into enhancing your dental health while you are a patient with us. However, it is crucial that you maintain good dental hygiene at home to continue caring for your smile. Numerous routines and practices that you may adopt to maintain good dental hygiene can keep your smile healthy and radiant. To maintain the healthiest possible state of your smile, our dentist advises that you take the following simple actions:

• Brush your teeth after each meal or at least twice a day. We encourage you to use a soft-bristled toothbrush and a 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 to the dentist every six months. During these visits, we will provide a professional teeth cleaning and a thorough dental exam to make certain we provide any needed preventive or restorative treatments.

When you visit our dentist and staff, we will discuss your dental hygiene practices with you and provide any extra information you may need to take further efforts to improve your oral health. We invite you to contact or come by our office now to learn more about dental hygiene and to set up your next appointment.
