Your oral health is about more than just brushing and flossing daily. Proper care involves education, treatment, and taking the necessary steps to maintain healthy teeth and gums. From regular brushing routines to checkups and professional cleanings, a comprehensive preventative dentistry plan can help you avoid gum disease, cavities, and other issues that can impact your overall well-being.
At our dental practice, we believe in taking a proactive approach to maintaining optimal oral health. We recommend the following steps to ensure you and your loved ones maintain vibrant smiles:
Establish an effective brushing and flossing routine at home. Brush twice daily for two minutes using an American Dental Association (ADA) approved fluoride-containing toothpaste.
Follow a balanced diet that avoids high sugar or acidic foods and beverages. Limit your intake of sticky sweets and brush immediately afterward. Opt for water over sodas and sports drinks instead.
Avoid harmful oral habits such as nail biting, chewing on pencils or ice, lip or tongue piercings, smoking, and using tobacco products. If your child sucks their fingers or thumb, try to help them break the habit at home. Consult with our dental professionals for advice if needed.
Attend regular checkups, professional cleanings, and receive routine care as recommended by the ADA.
Our primary goal is to help patients of all ages achieve and maintain excellent oral health. You can rely on our office to provide you and your family with the guidance, resources, and care needed for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
During regular checkup visits, we carefully evaluate every smile, looking for signs of dental disease or other issues that may affect your oral health and overall well-being. We'll review each patient's medical and dental history before performing a thorough examination, checking for oral cancer and other abnormalities. We'll also assess occlusion, TMJ function, and more as needed. We'll recommend diagnostic films when necessary to detect cavities, periodontal disease, and other oral pathology.
As part of a comprehensive preventive care program, professional dental cleanings provide an excellent opportunity to remove any accumulated plaque and tartar that your toothbrush may have missed. Since plaque and tartar harbor bacteria that can lead to dental disease, regular professional cleanings are crucial for protecting your smile from cavities and gum disease. We'll also take this time to provide oral hygiene instruction and offer nutritional guidance tailored to support a healthy smile. For young patients who may be more vulnerable to cavities, we may periodically apply fluoride treatments or dental sealants to provide additional protection against tooth decay.
