Dental hygiene is an integral part of achieving and maintaining a healthy smile. Without proper hygiene, the potential for bacteria and cavities can significantly damage your teeth. The excess of bacteria often leads to harmful diseases such as gingivitis and gum disease. We encourage patients to avoid these issues by taking care of their teeth at home through a simple routine proven to extend the longevity of their oral health.

Recommended steps for daily oral hygiene include:

  • Brushing and flossing teeth on a daily basis

  • Rinsing with mouthwash to reduce bacteria and plaque activity

  • Reducing the intake of sugary drinks and acidic foods

  • Visiting with a dentist for frequent cleanings and exams

Our dentist and team place great importance on preventive dental habits, which can help you avoid the development of harmful tooth decay and infections. We are happy to assist you in learning about hygiene habits you can develop to strengthen your smile and further transform your health. Frequent dental checkups can also improve the cleanliness of your teeth and ensure you are on track to a confident, more uplifted smile.

To best maintain the overall condition of your smile, we invite you to visit with our dentist to learn more. Call us today and schedule an appointment!
