Proper dental hygiene is not only important to keep your smile looking good, it is also mandatory for a lifetime of good oral health. By practicing good dental hygiene, you drastically decrease your risk of developing cavities and gum disease which are associated with the buildup of dental plaque. Nearly everyone is taught how to brush and floss their teeth at an early age, but many people forget how to do so with proper technique.

By following these dental hygiene routines twice each day, you are guaranteed to decrease your chances of developing cavities and periodontal disease. Talk to Smile Today about any concerns you may have regarding your dental health.

No child should have to experience cavity treatments at an early age, which is why we offer dental sealants. These protective, safe plastic coverings are painted onto the surface of teeth and are very effective in preventing cavities.

Everybody knows that oral health is important, which is why most people brush and floss regularly. Unfortunately, many people arent brushing or flossing properly, which may eventually lead to periodontal disease. While many people focus their oral hygiene practices around their teeth, the health of the gums is equally important. Additionally, habits such as drinking alcohol and using tobacco contribute to the growing number of cases of periodontal disease among adults. It is important for everyone to pay special attention to their own periodontal maintenance each day.

Make a point of properly brushing and flossing your teeth each day to maintain periodontal health. You should also visit your dentist, as suggested, to receive professional cleanings and inspections that are important for catching negative oral health conditions before they become serious issues.
