Oral Health Tips

Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the most important things you can do for your teeth and gums. Healthy teeth not only enable you to look and feel good, they make it possible to eat and speak properly. Good oral health is important to your overall well-being.

Daily preventive care, including proper brushing and flossing, will help stop problems before they develop and is much less painful, expensive, and worrisome than treating conditions that have been allowed to progress. Follow these simple tips to keep your smile bright and healthy for a lifetime.

Proper Brushing

Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a soft-bristled brush and fluoride toothpaste. Remember to brush your tongue to remove bacteria.

Don't Forget to Floss

Daily flossing is essential for cleaning tight spaces between your teeth and under the gumline where your toothbrush can't reach.

Regular Check-ups

Visit your dentist every six months for a professional cleaning and check-up. It's the best way to detect early signs of trouble.
