Preventive Care

Regardless of age, getting preventive dental care is essential throughout your life. You can keep a healthy, white smile for many years to come by seeing your dentist regularly and practicing basic dental hygiene at home. The following are simple techniques to prevent cavities and plaque build-up:

• Brush your teeth twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Be sure to clean all surfaces of your teeth, including your tongue. This will help remove food particles and plaque, preventing cavities and keeping your breath fresh.
• Floss daily to prevent cavities. Flossing helps reach those hard-to-clean areas between your teeth where bacteria can thrive. Use a mouthwash to kill germs and freshen your breath. Using these tools can help get rid of harmful plaque and food particles that cause decay.
• Nourish your smile with a healthy diet. Limit sugary treats and opt for nutritious foods like fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products. These foods provide essential nutrients for strong, healthy teeth.
• Schedule regular dental check-ups. Visit your dentist for a professional cleaning and examination every six months. Early detection of dental issues can save you time and money.
• Consider dental sealants. Ask your dentist about sealants, a protective coating that can be applied to your molars to help prevent cavities.
• Protect your smile. If you're an athlete, ask your dentist about custom-fitted mouthguards to prevent injuries during sports.
