A conscientious daily routine is key if you want to maintain optimal oral health between visits.
We recommend brushing your teeth at least twice daily to remove food particles and plaque buildup that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
Using a soft-bristled toothbrush helps ensure a thorough clean without damaging your gums. Don’t forget to replace your toothbrush every three to four months or sooner if the bristles are frayed.
Don’t Forget to Floss Your Teeth!
Daily flossing is essential for maintaining gum health and avoiding cavities. Your floss reaches between teeth to remove food particles and plaque buildup that your toothbrush can’t reach.
Dietary Habits and Oral Health
Dietary habits play a significant role in maintaining your oral health. Limiting sugary snacks and drinks and reducing alcohol and tobacco use can dramatically decrease your risk of tooth decay and other oral health problems.
