Your Oral Health

We are invested in helping you achieve and maintain optimum oral health. From self-confidence to your heart, a healthy smile can impact many aspects of your life. For instance, researchers continually link good oral health to a lower risk of heart attack, stroke, and other life-threatening conditions….
The most important part of maintaining your oral health is conscientious personal oral hygiene and regular maintenance visits to our office. We are happy to partner with you in keeping your mouth healthy.

Brushing and Flossing

Brushing and flossing remove food particles and help prevent the buildup of bacteria on and around your teeth. This bacteria will otherwise accumulate and harden into a thick plaque, eventually causing tooth decay and bone loss below the gum. Some tips for maintaining your oral health are:

• Brush twice daily with fluoridated toothpaste, ideally after each meal.
• Floss at least once a day.
• Limit snacking in between meals and minimize the amount of processed sugars you consume.

Regular Office Visits

Regular visits allow us to diagnose problems early, monitor any areas of decay, and remove plaque that has built up over time. We will also assess the health of the gums and other tissues in your mouth. Each person has individual needs or concerns. Your dental cleanings are also an opportunity for you to discuss these with us.
