Are you hoping to do the best that you can when it comes to caring for your smile but you feel like you could use a little help? Don’t worry, we happen to be experts in guiding you through your preventive care. It’s important to keep in mind that protecting your oral health requires more than one step. Fortunately, they’re easy to incorporate into your life! For a clearer understanding regarding the simple guidelines and how to organize your dental care, we encourage you to consider our suggestions.
Brush And Floss At Home
The first part of your preventive care includes all that you do independently to keep your smile healthy when you’re away from our practice. While coming in for visits is still essential, it’s the work you do at home in front of your bathroom sink that supports the work we do in our office (and vice versa). Here’s what you should be doing every single day:
- Brushing your teeth (twice a day), once in the morning and then again in the evening. Make sure you do a thorough job.
- Flossing your smile (once a day) when it is convenient for you.
Come In For Cleanings And Checkups
Now that you’ve got your preventive care at home down pat, it’s equally important that you remain consistent with your efforts in coming in for preventive visits. These are two-part appointments that will include both a cleaning and a checkup. During the cleaning, our team will gently yet thoroughly remove plaque and tartar buildup from your smile and polish your teeth. Then, we will inspect your oral health for changes.
